Hi Guys,
I was told that these artifacts may be Native gaming pieces.... I'm aware that some tribes used sticks while other used flat(ish) stones... I am hoping to find out if they are real and what tribe they could possibly be from...

Any help would be appreciated

Thx
PLL

This is the only photo we have, and they were supposedly found in a cave near Oceanside California
 

Hey Peg, you're close enough, get ahold of Bowers museum in Santa Ana. Yhey've been a big help for me for many years. You do know all up Ortega hwy there was tons of activity? My other good research source passed away a few years ago. If Bowers doesn't know, they can point you. Hint-anything you want to keep, don't take it to UCI!! They have a real bad habit of misplacing goodies.
 

I would really like to see color photos in good light.
 

I don,t know,but I,d really love to.Keep us posted.
 

The one in the middle with the skull looking face has the Mexican day of the dead sugar skull look to it.
 

That picture looks vintage or they used a filter to create that vintage look.
 

Cool whatever they are. Gaming pieces usually weren't that elaborate.
