We dug up a really weird flexible computer chip in our yard that turned out to be 15,000 years old.
I’m thinking it was a piece of junk from a galaxy far, far away.

Trade?
As a Proud Inuit, I think it is possible that one tribe traded with another, and possibly with people from Asia. After all, one can see Russia from one’s front porch, right?

It’s a hinge for a refrigerator door. Proving that they had excellent salesmen in Alaska in the late Bronze Age period.

They’re going to check with an expert on Asian artifacts. That would be my hunch too.
