But, as I will show, she presents no evidence that Indians could have been the source of the Bronze Age inscriptions and essentially ignores the presence of a Proto-Tifinagh alphabet. This site in New Hampshire, which Harvard marine biologist Barry Fell attributed to bronze age Iberian, actually turns out to be a 19th century New England. Vastokas provides an extensive discussion of ancient Indian culture and evidence that the Indians inscribed glyphs at Peterborough. This paper provides a detailed examination of her chapter. ![]() I recently learned that such a paper, overlooked by archaeologists, and other scholars, was in fact published in 2004 by Joan Vastokas (who had mapped the inscriptions on the Peterborough rock) as a chapter in a book on North American Rock-Art. Abstract : Many decades ago, several epigraphers claimed that numerous inscriptions on a large limestone rock near Peterborough, Canada, indicated that they were made during the Scandinavian Bronze Age by Scandinavian visitors and contained a Proto-Tifinagh (known in north africa) alphabet But while many continued to assert that all of the inscriptions were made by early Algonquian Indians, as far as I knew, no one published a paper showing that the claims of a Nordic presence were incorrect. ![]()
