Or country.

Or planet is how i feel. Understood! If i can find it there's a chart of ancient Chinese pottery that much better matches what i find then any place in the states. They say the Chinese were masters of the Pacific. Ancient Chinese anchors have been found off our coastline. Just food for thought.

I am not sure why the lack of posters from my area. If you look on Wikipedia 1/3rd of all the Indians from the states lived in California and i believe 2/3rds of California Indians lived in the bay area due to the abundance of resources. I love to share and learn but the stuff here may be from Mars.

The Sf Bay area Indians according to research were much different then surrounding California tribes. I find very unique artifacts like these.

Here are some normal creek finds

mano made of quartzite and some possible bolo stones. They come with flat spots, dimples and grooves most of the time with combinations of these variables on the same piece.

I also find very colorful discoids made of different sandstones and quartzites. Quartzites break through the grain as opposed to sandstones with the grain.

I was thinking some of the pottery looked like some of the stuff from Mexico & Central America. But yes, the Chinese had an amazing set of trade routes going before Columbus had gotten his feet wet.

The number of manos, grinders, game stones, discoidals, etc. is amazing. Great variety.
