    Two individuals are engaged in what appears to be an archaeological field excavation in an outdoor, wooded setting. The foreground figure is actively sifting soil through a wooden-framed mesh screen to recover artifacts or materials of interest. A second person in the background is carrying orange buckets, likely transporting excavated soil to the screening station.

    Two women are engaged in archaeological fieldwork outdoors in a wooded area. One woman is shoveling dirt from an excavation trench while the other operates a wooden mesh sifting screen to sort through excavated soil. The setting appears to be an active archaeological dig site during summer conditions.
    A person's open palm is displayed holding a small amber/yellow-brown ceramic or pottery shard, likely recovered from an archaeological excavation. The individual wears a digital watch, a braided friendship bracelet, and a silver ring. The background shows disturbed earth and wooden shoring, consistent with an active dig site.
    Two individuals are engaged in archaeological fieldwork at an outdoor excavation site surrounded by trees. One person sits on a stool taking notes on paper while the other sits at the edge of a soil trench examining and cataloging small artifacts on a tray. The excavation trench with clearly visible soil stratigraphy is prominent in the foreground.
    Two individuals are engaged in what appears to be an archaeological field excavation in a wooded outdoor setting. One person wearing a wide-brimmed hat is shoveling dirt into a wooden mesh sifting screen, while the other kneels beside the screen sorting through the material by hand. The setting and equipment are consistent with a professional or academic archaeological dig.
    Two individuals are engaged in an archaeological field excavation in an outdoor, wooded setting. One person is shoveling dirt from a rectangular excavation unit while the other operates a wooden screen/sieve to sort through sediment for artifacts or materials. The setting appears to be a warm, sunny day with lush green vegetation in the background.
    Two individuals are conducting an archaeological excavation in a forested area. One person stands in a dug pit shoveling sandy soil upward while the other manages a wooden screen/sifting box to sort through the excavated material. The setting appears to be a professional or academic field excavation based on the equipment and methodology visible.
    Two individuals are conducting an archaeological excavation in a wooded setting. A rectangular trench has been carefully dug, with string lines marking measurement boundaries. One person measures the trench wall while another kneels near a wooden soil-sifting screen elevated on a stand.
    A dirt-covered hand is held open, palm up, displaying two small dark fragments recovered from an excavation site. The background shows a mound of freshly dug sandy soil, suggesting active digging or archaeological/field work. The fragments appear to be small pieces of pottery, ceramic, or possibly corroded metal.
    An active archaeological excavation site showing a team of four researchers working around a rectangular soil trench cut into the ground. Team members are engaged in documentation, recording, and analysis tasks. The site appears to be in a grassy, tree-shaded outdoor area with visible soil stratigraphy layers in the trench walls.
    A person wearing a green jacket holds a small, dark brown square artifact in their open palm at what appears to be an archaeological excavation site. The artifact is small, roughly square-shaped, and appears to be made of metal or ceramic with a textured surface. The background shows excavation tools, a work table, soil, and other personnel engaged in fieldwork.

The foreground figure is actively sifting soil through a wooden-framed mesh screen to recover artifacts or materials of interest. A second person in the background is carrying orange buckets, likely transporting excavated soil to the screening station.
    A person is working at an outdoor archaeological or soil-sifting site, operating a suspended mesh screen sifter mounted on a wooden A-frame structure. Large mounds of excavated dirt surround the work area, and an orange bucket is visible nearby. The setting appears to be a wooded area with vehicles parked in the background.
    An active archaeological excavation site showing four individuals working around a rectangular test unit or trench dug into sandy/clay soil. The team appears to be conducting systematic fieldwork with proper documentation, measurement, and excavation techniques. The site is located in a wooded outdoor setting with shade canopy overhead.
    An active archaeological excavation site with four individuals working around a rectangular test unit or trench. The team is working under a canopy/tarp shelter in a wooded outdoor setting, using standard field archaeology tools and equipment. Various recording and excavation activities are simultaneously underway.
    A human hand is holding a small stone artifact, likely a knapped flint or chert projectile point or arrowhead. The artifact displays a triangular shape with visible flaking along its edges, consistent with prehistoric lithic tool manufacture. The piece appears to be made from a light gray, fine-grained stone material.
    Two labeled archaeological specimen bags containing small stone artifacts, photographed on a wooden surface. The bags contain handwritten provenance labels with site numbers, block/unit coordinates, depth measurements, dates, and artifact descriptions. These appear to be lithic artifacts (a stone scraper and another stone tool) recovered from controlled archaeological excavations in May 2017.
    A woman wearing glasses and a teal shirt is seated at a desk, typing on a laptop keyboard. She is surrounded by printed documents, a book on a stand, and various office supplies. The workspace appears to be a professional office or research environment.
    A pair of human hands cupped together are holding a rough, irregularly shaped fragment of what appears to be fired clay or ceramic pottery sherd. The object is brown-tan in color with a coarse, granular texture and visible surface ridges or cord markings. The dark background and warm lighting emphasize the object being presented for examination.
    A person is holding up a wire mesh screen or sifting frame outdoors beneath a large leafy tree. The image is taken from an unusual low angle, looking up through the mesh screen at the person's face and hand. The screen contains dark material, likely soil or compost being sifted.
    A man named Karl, wearing a straw hat and light blue work shirt with a name tag, is installing or assembling a wooden fence or railing structure outdoors in a park-like setting. He is working near a tree, standing on black plastic sheeting laid over disturbed soil, suggesting active construction or landscaping work. The setting appears to be a sunny day in a green, well-maintained public or residential area.
    The image displays a collection of lithic arrowheads or projectile points arranged in a triangular/pyramid formation against a black background. The artifacts vary in color from white and cream to orange, brown, and gray, suggesting different stone materials such as chert, flint, or quartzite. The arrangement consists of 16 individual stone points organized in rows of increasing width from top to bottom.
