    A hand is holding a small stone artifact, likely a knapped flint or chert arrowhead or projectile point. The object appears to be a lithic tool with visible flaking on its edges, suggesting human workmanship. The background shows a blurred indoor setting with what appears to be books, a lamp, and other objects on a surface.

    A triangular point 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.
