    Two archaeological artifact bags are displayed on a wooden surface, each containing small stone fragments with handwritten catalog labels. The bags are from site 47MO54 and 47MO360, both dated May 2017, and contain lithic artifacts including what appears to be a scraper. These appear to be standard archaeological field collection bags used to catalog and store excavated materials.

    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.
