    A pair of hands holds a small, roughly triangular ceramic or clay pottery sherd. The fragment appears to be an archaeological artifact with visible surface texturing, possibly cord-marked or fabric-impressed decoration on its exterior. The piece is brown in color with visible mineral inclusions and weathering consistent with age.

    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.
