Another area will have materials used for labeling objects, and bags and tags which are used in the cataloging process. Microscopes, calipers and scales, important to archaeologists for close examination, identification and measurement purposes, will also be on display. Samples of stone and ceramic artifacts, and plant, animal, bird and reptile remains will be sorted and arranged according to the method of analysis used to interpret artifacts, and learn about the people who made and used them. An articulated animal skeleton is on view to illustrate how experts identify animal species from the bones and teeth found in an archaeological site. A partially reconstructed pot is on display to describe how the location, design and construction of ceramic pieces help us learn about the people who made it.
Visitors can follow a pathway to the top of the mound.
