{sup 71}Ga NMR spectroscopy was performed on GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells to measure the electron spin polarization for Landau filling factors 0.7{le}{nu}{le}3.5 . A reduction of the spin polarization was observed when {nu} deviated from 3, suggesting that the effective spin of the charged excitations in the quantum wells was larger than that of a single electron. This finding may be evidence of Skyrmion excitations for {nu}=3 . {copyright} {ital 1999} {ital The American Physical Society}
