Yes, and you can bet that those relics weren't just "dropped by anyone" They were found inside the stockade grounds and are indeed objects belonging to the soldier-prisoners. A great archaeological discovery. We've always known the approximate location but never the EXACT location so its so sweet to see that my home state now has another historical jewel to add to its list!

Found this quote interesting

"We thought, holy cow, in order for us to find an artifact like this, this site has to be undisturbed," Chapman said. "To find a Civil War site that hasn't been looted is extremely rare."

Ouch.
