Recent Discoveries

We have two drawers designated "Recent Discoveries" at Mission San Luis. Although most of the exhibit cases and drawers contain permanent collections, these drawers were developed to accommodate continual updates. Whether the archaeologists are in the field or in the lab, they are constantly identifying interesting new artifacts. This gives us the opportunity to share these new finds with visitors to Mission San Luis, and to our website.
