cactusjumper,mr.davis teaches at the university of Nevada,cynthia spent a lot of time working at the desert research center in reno,mr. davis and Cynthia were very good friends,,,,,mr davis recruited Cynthia to be a part of the project,there was a group several years ago in the superstitions looking for oz,because of the Tucson artifacts, but the true name for the real project was od, not oz.the temple there was emptied several years ago,the holy ,which its all called, was taken to south africa and put in a small private museum for safe keeping,and again its refered to as the holy.the one in spirit mnt is still intact.hope this answers some questions, mr davis and Cynthia did meet at the university.np

1. I don`t recall ever saying there was a battle on Silverbell Road. I don`t believe there was. From my readings the artifacts were simply dropped by a group of folks on the run. The weapons, well we can only speculate as to their purpose. Were they adequate for battle? Imagine so. You see they do exist and if they were not planted they are in fact real.

The artifacts were said to be created somewhere else, carried to the Silver Bell location and left there, possibly after a big battle. If that is so, how did artifact #24 at(78")deep, end up 36" below artifact #15 at 42" below the surface,both encased in the same deposit?
Relatively speaking, all of the artifacts are in fairly close proximity to each other. How can the different depths be accounted for? From a simple man, you get simple questions. No doubt there is a simple answer I am overlooking.

Pip,
The problem, for me, with the Calalus artifacts is that most were solidly ensconced in caliche. They were only removed with great difficulty and picks or other types of pointed digging tools.
Beyond that, the caliche was both above and below the artifacts, which were found at different depths, as much as three feet in one case. While not impossible, that seems a little hard to accept at face value.
What seems more likely, is that the trench that was created for a pathway to the kilns, was cut down through the caliche, creating caliche walls. The walls were then hollowed out to allow placement of the artifacts, and then resealed with reconstituted caliche, which is not difficult to do. In ten to twenty years, the caliche patch would be hard as the original.
Thanks for your input.
Joe
