    A human hand is holding a fragment of what appears to be ancient pottery or ceramic sherd. The piece is roughly triangular in shape, brown/terracotta in color, and shows visible surface texturing or incised markings on its face. The fragment appears weathered and soil-encrusted, consistent with an archaeological find.

    A pottery sherd that is estimated to be thousands of years old and made by Native Americans is shown Sept. 11, 2017, at an archaeology lab operated by Colorado State University’s Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands under contract with Fort McCoy, Wis., in Tomah, Wis. Artifacts like this are analyzed and documented at the lab after they are found at Fort McCoy during archaeological digs. This artifact was found during a dig in summer 2017.
