These three artifacts were recovered during excavations at the Union Pacific Railroad Depot in Lawrence, Kansas. Shown are a knife handle made of bone and metal with a small portion of the blade, a bone handle and a pewter handle for either a spoon or a fork. This site served not only as a depot, but also had dwellings, a meat market, a saloon, a possible boarding house or hotel, a grain elevator and other commercial buildings located within the project area excavated in 1995 by Kansas Historical Society archeologists.
