    Butt first! I've had him on mental "ignore" for a while. Didn't bother with the button; his kind aren't worth the effort to find it.

    I'd noted the similarities but didn't know there was a direct link. I can't say I"m surprised; ideas travel, and pretty stuff goes darned well everywhere. They found a bit of Chinese pottery on a Viking dig site in Canada if memory serves. I once shipped Cherokee-made earrings to Sweden and a Navajo cross to Singapore. Some day someone's grandkids are going to be really confused!

    I've only heard of L'anse Aux Meadow in Newfoundland as a Viking site. I've been there and it's fabulous. I've heard recently that under the Viking site, they found stone tools that suggest Indigenous Americans were on the same site earlier, and there is a possibility that they interacted. I would love to hear of any other sites where a Chinese artifact was found on a Viking site. Do you remember any details?

    Not off hand. It may have been a brass bowl instead, but definitely Chinese.

    Last year, after having dug to a depth of 5 metres, Canadian archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years.
    They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago !


    Not to be outdone by their neighbours, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 10 metres. Shortly afterwards, a story was published in the New York Times:
    "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire at a depth of 10 metres, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Canadians" !


    A week later, British authorities reported the following:
    "After digging to a depth of 20 metres in Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright, self-taught archaeologist reported that he had found, "absolutely bugger all" !
    Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless" !

    And in a sense they had, other than possible tin can telephones. The village grapevine never needed wires, but the reliability was iffy.
