No, I’m not about to present some wacky theory about ancient cross-Pacific migrations. The rock art in question is attributed to a community of Hawaiian Mormons who moved to Utah in 1889, then went back home again 30 years later. Past Horizons has the story.
Reeves and Pykles discussed their work at the SAA meeting, but unfortunately I didn’t see their presentation. Looking at the schedule, I was in the symposium on 3-D archaeological modeling. I’m a little disappointed I didn’t get to attend this session because one of my particular interests is culture contact, and particularly the choices people make to preserve certain aspects of their culture while altering others.
