    The image shows a grassy area with multiple concrete slabs partially overgrown with grass, marked by yellow survey flags arranged in a systematic pattern. A person wearing a hat and blue shirt stands at the far right holding what appears to be a shovel or survey instrument. A white string or rope line is visible in the foreground, suggesting active surveying, archaeological investigation, or site documentation work.

    A Fort McCoy archaeology team member with the Colorado State University’s (CSU) Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands who works in partnership with the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch (NRB) looks for artifacts during an archaeological survey July 14, 2022, on South Post at Fort McCoy, Wis. For several weeks in July, Fort McCoy archaeological team members with NRB and CSU held a special archaeological survey and dig on South Post. The team did their survey in the South Post Housing Area, which also happens to be the oldest areas of the installation’s origins where Camp Robinson and Camp Emery-Upton once were located. In the actual location of the survey, however, the team was looking at areas around old concrete tent pads that were once part of Camp Robinson. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
