Blue jade? I would love to see some. Wonder if they will continue to let it reach the market?

I can't wait to hear more about the archaeological findings that they are sure to uncover. I think modern archaeologists underestimate the degree of knowledge achieved by earlier civilizations and hopefully they will discover some interesting artifacts that will lead them to a more complete understanding of their knowledge and life.

One of the things I appreciate about the Western Hemisphere discoveries is that they are usually far less political in nature than Middle Eastern, African, Chinese and European discoveries. In the Eastern hemisphere, history is part of the political axe-grinding stone. In the Americas, there is some politics (voir: Kennewick man), but it is far more straightforward science. To the extent that there is ethnic pride, there is no overlaying religious or political theology that tries to manipulate the result.

Blue jade is really beautiful.
