and northern Russia. On the other hand, the area beyond the Urals in Asia shows an equally clear
affinity to northeastern Europe and indeed the whole circumpolar world possesses related cultural
characteristics.”
“The only domesticated animal was the dog, and its remains have been found in nearly all sites. Bone
was used for making awls, needles, knives, arrowheads, hooks and harpoons, ice picks, etc. Wood was
used for tools, as finds in peat bogs attest.”
“Articles of slate and quartz including large celts and gouges, net sinkers, scrapers, strait arrowheads,
knife blades, spears daggers are characteristic of northeastern Baltic and and northwestern Russia and
particularly of Karelia.” A particular concentration of sites is known from the lakes region of Finland,
Karelia and northwestern Russia, especially around Lake Onega. The situation of the settlements, as well as the mass of fish bones, harpoons, conical projectile points, hooks and net sinkers [plummets]
attest fishing as one of the main sources of livelihood.”
Net sinker or plummet from the Baltic region. Some of the plummets were highly polished, implying that they were not only utilitarian, but also had a spiritual significance.
In
“The Races of Europe” by Carleton Stevens Coon, in describing the Upper Palaeolithic man in
Europe, writes “ In totality of facial features, with few exceptions, the Upper Paleolithic people may be
said to have resembled modern white men. Some however, probably looked like a certain type of American Indian, notably that of the North American Plains.”
Migrations of the Cro-Magnon, Hunters and Fishers to the North American, Pacific Coast
The “Berengia Theory” states that the Americas were populated after several migrations from Asia,
across the Berengia land bridge that was briefly open when the ice sheets began their retreat from about
10,000 B.C. This theory is under continued scrutiny, based on new evidence suggesting that the
earliest immigrants were more genetically diverse than previously thought and didn't walk here, but
came in boats. The earliest skeletal remains found in western, North America resemble the prehistoric
Joman people of Japan and their closest modern descendants, the Ainu. The Joman were an extension
of the circumpolar complex of Hunter and Fishers who stretched across Siberia to the northern
Japanese islands.
First Americans-Origins of Man, “LookSmart.com” February 1999,. “When the seafaring theory was
proposed in the mid- 1970s, it sank for lack of evidence. Any shoreline outposts of an ancient maritime
culture would have been submerged when sea levels rose some 300 feet about 12,000 years ago at the
end of the Ice Age. But as the timeline for the new-world occupation has changed, the theory seems
downright sensible, if not quite provable. The Pacific Rim has vast resources of salmon and sea
mammals, and people need only the simplest of tools to exploit them: nets, weirs, clubs, knives.
Whereas ancient landlubbers would have had to reinvent their means of hunting, foraging, and housing
as they passed through different trains, ancient mariners could have had smooth sailing through
relatively unchanging coastal environments. And recent geological studies show that even when
glaciers stretched down into North America, there were thawed pockets of coastline in the northwest
where people could take refuge and gather provisions. “Most archaeologist have a continental
mindset,” says Robson Bonnichsen, an anthropologist at the Center for the Study of the First
Americans at the University of Oregon in Eugene. “But the peopling of America is likely to be tied very much to the development and spread of maritime adaption.”
The Joman and Ainu have skull and facial characteristics more similar to Europeans than to
mainland Asians. The most celebrated of the Joman people is not from Japan, but Washington State
and is known as the Kennewick man who dates to 7,000 B.C. Additional skeletal remains have been
found that are also an apparent extension of the Cro-Magnon Hunters and Fishers, both Spirit Cave
Man and two Minnesota skulls, one dating 7,900 and the other 8,700 years old have been analyzed and
showed European facial characteristics.
Kennewick Man, with archaic facial features of a prominent brow ridge and sloping forehead.
As a homogeneous Maritime Culture we should find on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North
America, similar artifacts and skeletal remains from the years 7,000-2000 B.C. as those found in
Europe and Asia. Tool kits should include bone harpoons and awls, implements of slate and quartz,
leaf shaped projectile points, fish hooks, ice picks, fish nets, net sinkers or plummets, gouges and stone
axes. Burials should be found in glacial kames, near lakes and within shell mounds. Red ochre being
included many of the graves in addition to evidence of charcoal or ashes. A bed within the burial pit
may be lined with bark or stones. Artifacts within the grave may be ritualistically broken. Skeletal
remains showing archaic features, with facial prognathism, protruding brow ridges with a low sloping
forehead, thick skulls walls and some instances of occipital buns. The most most compelling evidence
are the large skeletons, that is a physical trait of only one species of man, Cro-Magnon. Several interesting historical accounts were found that describe ancient burials in the Aleutian Islands
that reveals evidence of the migrations of the Joman to the North American Pacific coasts. In the first
report the skeleton was found in a kitchen midden or shell heap, and had artifacts that were
ritualistically broken. The second report describes a large seven foot skeleton, found in a ridge or
kame overlooking the ocean. Polished slate implements were also found in the Kuril Islands associated
with the Joman, and with the Maritime peoples in the Baltic region and the Northeast American
Atlantic coasts. The bodies were placed like spokes of a wheel. This type of arrangement of the dead
is common within the later Allegewi and Hopewell Sioux, Iroquois and Cherokee peoples.

Aleutian Skeleton Found State College, Pa., April 4-The skeleton of an ancient Aleutian woman, excavated by an Army Air Forces chaplain on the island of Architka, Aleutian Islands, has been presented to the Pennsylvania State College.
Capt. Cecil C. Cowder, of Bigler, Clearfield County, said he excavated the skeleton on November 9 while he was stationed at Shenya Air Force Base. The body had been buried in an ancient “kitchen mitten,” a refuse heap, at a depth of five feet. With it were a number of bone harpoons, several bone fish shanks, stone blades, a bird, a fish and numerous pieces of hard bone and rough stone which probably were intended for use in the future life. The harpoons had been deliberately broken and then placed carefully on top of the body.”
The island of Architka is halfway between the coast of Kamchatka and the northern Japanese Kuril
Islands; (the home of the Joman), and mainland Alaska's Bristol Bay. It can be found on a globe or map
where the international dateline makes a large “V” to incorporate this island.

Major Finds Grave of Giant Aleutian An advanced Aleutian Base (U.P.) Site of a strange burial of a prehistoric giant was discovered on an Aleutian Island recently by Major. E. E. Chittenden, Kearney Neb. The ancient Aleut, who had been at least 7 feet tall, has been buried on a low ridge overlooking the ocean, and in the same shallow grave with him were the skeletons of five women, placed to form a geometrical pa
ttern.
Major Chittenden found the burial site while excavations for a military installation were being made, and he states the six skeletons had been placed with their heads together, so that trunk and leg bones extended outward like the spokes of a wheel. In the unusual grave were carved ivory ornaments and weapons made of polished slate.
The idea of a Maritime migrations occurring before people began walking over the frozen Berengia
Land Bridge was crystallized when the oldest skull found in North America was discovered on an
island off the California coast. The find was reported in Infoplease.com Oldest Human Remains in
North America Found “In 1959, the partial skeletal remains of an ancient woman estimated to be
10,000 years old were unearthed in Arlington Springs on Santa Rosa Island, one of the eight channel
islands off the southern California coast. Her remains dated to 11,000 BC. The earlier date and the
location of the womans remains adds weight to the alternative theory that some early settlers may have
constructed boats and migrated from Asia by sailing down.”
The oldest skeleton found within the American continent is that of the Penon woman who was
uncovered in Mexico City. The skeletal remains identical to the Hunters and Fishers of Europe and
Asia. The find was reported in, CNN.com/Science and Space, December 4, 2002. “Penon woman was
found while digging a well near the Mexico City International Airport. Scientist believe that Penon
woman died anywhere between 10,700 and 11,000 BC at the age of 27. Silvia Gonzalez from Oxford
University believes, “the bones of the Penon woman belong not to Native Americans, but to the Ainu
people of Japan”
Gonzalez also stated in The Independent by Steve Connor, Science Editor December 2002. Dr.
Gonzalez told BBC News Online: “Studies of Native Americans early indicated a link with modern
day Asains, supporting the idea of a mass migration across the Bering land bridge. But one DNA study
also pointed to at least some shared features with Europeans that could have derived from a relatively
common ancestor who lived perhaps 15,000 years ago.”
Skull of the Penon woman with protruding brow ridge and an accentuated temporal line. The mandible foreman is also under the molars, similar to the skull found at Oleny Island, in northern Russia.
A few of the tools kits and burial practices on the west coast are identical to these found in the
eastern Woodlands, that are associated with the Meadowood and Point Peninsula Iroquois Cultures.
DNA studies have found a genetic link with the northwest coast's, Yakima Indians and the Ohio
Hopewell. Were the Yakima a detached Iroquois tribe? Daniel S. Meatte wrote in 1990 in Prehistory
of the Western Snake River Basin, “ Between 4,500 and 4,000 B.P., with possible extensions until
3,500 B.P. Identified cultural attributes include massive turkey-tail and cache blades, caches or
obsidian blank/preforms, large side notched projectile points, flexed or semi-flexed inhumations,
possible cremations, and candid skull interments. Additional characteristic include the use of red
ochre. Human burials are placed in unmarked cemeteries with a preference for high sandy knolls along
river terraces.”
Turkey Tail points were mined from Harrison County, Indiana grey flint and associated with the Red Ochre Iroquoians.
Artifacts found in Northern California are identical to the burial inclusions found in the Great Lakes region, associated with the Red Ochre, Glacial Kame and Meadowood Iroquois. Artifacts consist of plummets, a bar amulet and trapezoidal one-holed pendant.
The burials and artifacts on the Snake River are consistent with those associated with the Glacial
Kame and Red Ochre burials found in the Great Lakes region. Additional evidence of the the
Iroquoians, trading or inhabiting the extent of the continent, are the Pacific coast items found as burial
inclusions in the Midwest.
History of Darke County, Ohio, 1905 The locality in and around Nashville, German Township has some interesting information. One or two mounds have been opened yielding a lot of relics, skeletons, etc. Two large shells native of the Pacific Coast, were taken from one of the mounds. The inside had been cut out of them leaving a large cavity capable of holding about one gallon, and make a very beautiful addition to the furniture of the ancient people of the stone age.
One of the most interesting burial spots was discovered on the farm of Jesse Woods in German Township. In digging the cellar under the house where he lives, Mr. Woods discovered a skeleton in a sitting posture. It was covered with plates of Mica and was the central figure in a group of other skeletons arranged in a circle around it. The skeletons in the circle were lying at full length.
The following articles describe skeletal remains found along the coastal regions of the Pacific and a
few of the western states. Slate spears, bone awls, stone smoking tubes and plummets are the most
common artifacts found; indicating a people that was reliant on fishing as their principle subsistence.
The skeletal remains described in the following article are large, in addition to the skulls being
described as having “primitive” characteristics. It is reasonable to assume that the remains described
are of the same stock as the Penon Woman and Kennewick Man, who both had “primitive”
characteristics.
Another physical characteristic that is evident within this population is the physical abnormality of
possessing a double row of teeth. While a large skeleton would appear to be rare, in combination with
a double row of teeth would imply that a single people is being represented. Bancroft’s Native Races, 1882,
Further Bacroft writes, “Mr. Taylor heard from a resident of San Buenaventura that “ in recent stay
on Santa Rosa Island, in 1861, he often met with entire skeletons of Indians in the caves. The signs of
their rancherias were very frequent, and the remains of metates, mortars, earthen pots, and other
utensils, and other utensils very common. Extensive caves were met with which seemed to serve as
burial places of the Indians, as entire skeletons and numerous skulls were plentifully scattered about in
their recesses.” Some very wonderful skulls are also reported as having been found on the islands,
furnished with double teeth all the way round the jaw.”
Near Comox, one hundred and thirty miles northwest of Victoria, a group of mounds were examined
in 1872-3, and found to be built of sea sand and black mold, mixed with some shells. They were from
five to fifty yards in circumference. In one by the side of a very large skull was deposited a piece of
coal; and in another with a very peculiar flattened skull was a child’s tooth.

PRIMITIVE MEN OF GIGANTIC STATURE Eleven skeletons of primitive men, with foreheads sloping directly back from the eyes, and two rows of teeth in the front of the upper jaw, have been uncovered at Craigshill, at Ellensburg, Wash. They were found about twenty feet below the surface, twenty feet back from the face of the slope, in a cement rock formation, over which was a layer of shale. The rock was perfectly dry. The jaw bones, which easily break, are so large that they will go around the face of the man today. The other bones are also much larger than those of the ordinary man. The femur is twenty inches long, indicating a man of eighty inches tall [6’ 8”] The teeth in front are worn almost down to the jaw bones, due, it is believed, to eating uncooked foods and crushing substances with the teeth. The sloping skull shows an extreme low order of intelligence.
This photo appeared on www.viewzone in February, 2002, described only as ancient skel
eton, that was photographed in window of a Seattle, Washington shoppe. Is this the photograph of one of the skulls from Craigshill or Ellensburg, Washington?

New Link in Man History Is Found on West Coast
Santa Barbara Mound Yield Remains of People Older Than Neanderthal
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Oct 27.-All doubt as to the greater age of the skulls of the “Santa Barbara man” uncovered here this week, as compared with the Neanderthal man of Central Europe, has been dispelled in the minds of scientist doing excavation work on the Burton Mound fronting the Santa Barbara ocean beach according to J.P. Harrington of the Smithsonian Institution in a formal statement tonight.
Dr. Harrington, who has been in charge of southern California archaeological work for the Smithsonian Institution for several months, is certain that a new link in the Anthropological chain has been established definitely by the excavations of the last few days. Further examination of the gorillalike skulls unearthed on Burton Mound, he asserts, has definitely proven that the Santa Barbara man existed in a period far earlier than the era of Neanderthal man. Not only that, but he possessed a culture which far exceeded that of the Neanderthal.
Burton Mound in Santa Barbara from a sketch done in 1809. The mound has since been levelled.
Tools are Found Artifacts found in the hardpan which gave up the skulls showed Santa Barbara man used tools and implements, which although crude were greatly in advance of those supposed to have been employed by the Neanderthal man in the dawn of the world’s civilization. Instruments resembling pestels, crude barbless fish-hooks and other relics encrusted in the protecting calcerous soil point almost unmistakably to that conclusion, Dr Harrington said tonight.
The skulls of the Santa Barbara men were carefully cleaned today in order that more minute investigation might be made. This led to the discovery that the primitive owner of the skeleton remains, possessed a mouth larger than any man of modern or ancient times. The mouth of one of the skulls was widely opened, as if the early man had died in great pain or fear. The jaws measured nearly seven inches. The same pronounced suprorbital ridge existed in both skulls with the same lack of forehead and other scientific evidences of primitive existence. Skulls Thick
