A basalt grinding stone found on a past archaeological dig at Fort McCoy, Wis., is shown on Aug. 8, 2016. Archaeologists with the Colorado State University (CSU) Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands (CEMML) were investigating an archaeological site near the North Flowage when they uncovered a mano, a type of grinding stone used with a metate to process both wild and cultivated plant foods. Ground stone tools are not commonly found at archaeological sites around Fort McCoy. Between 2013 and 2016, the CEMML archaeologists investigated 162 sites and only 24 of these had ground stone tools. These 24 sites yielded 64 ground stone tools, of which only eight were assumed to be grinding tools associated with food processing. (Contributed photo)
