Other evidence for daily activities came in the form of tools,
hardware, and firearm-related items. Much of the hardware was related
to construction; wire nails were a common find. Only a few mining-related
tools were found, but these were presumably so valuable that they
were not often abandoned. Some specific occupations and tasks were
represented in the form of a cobbler’s last, a sewing machine,
and a milk glass jar marked “Koken/KBS/St. Louis, U.S.A.”
(Koken Barber Supply). As would be expected for this time period,
archaeologists recovered plenty of bullets, shells, and other firearm-related
artifacts.
