The City of Oshkosh will pay an extra $15,000 to U-W Milwaukee researchers for excavations done by a team of archaeologists.
The city contracted with the workers after discovering tribal remains while doing field work at the former Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course.
The extra money will pay for excavations done in spring.
Researchers uncovered human burial remains beyond what they expected.
City Parks Director Ray Maurer says every discovery during the dig changed plans for the future of the 70-acre Lakeshore Park.
The extra funding brings the total cost of the agreement to just under $199,000.
