Possibility of Unique Civilization Near Vancouver L
2,500 Years Ago Revealed After Archeologist’s Survey
VICTORIA, B.C., UB—Possibili
ty that a unique civilization in
habited the gulf inland between
Vancouver Island and the lower
British Columbia mainland 2,500
years ago was revealed at the
Provincial Museum yesterday.
The possibility was brought to
light In a report on strange stone
carvings, artifacts, by Wilson
Duff, museum anthropologist, fol
lowing an archeological survey
of the islands.
The stones, largest of which
was two inches, were discovered
on North and South Pender Is
lands by residents there.
Duff thinks the carvings came
from an ancient culture differing
i from that of prehistoric Indians.
Unique Artifacts
His reasoning is based on the
fact that the present artifacts are
the only ones of their kind ever
found. If the carvings were part
of an early Indian race, the art
would have been handed down
and more would have appeared.
Duff said the findings pose one
of the most intriguing archeologi
cal mysteries of present times.

Who were the people responsM
ble, where did they come from,
how civilized were they, and what
happened to them?
An All-Out Effort
Dr. Clifford Carl, director of
the Provincial Museum, said an
all-out effort is being made to get
answers for these questions.
Illustrations of the carvings—
made from soapstone—have been
sent to museums across Canada
and the United States.
“We hope someone may be able
to throw some light on the origin
of the people,” he said. "We are
stumped. So far no one has been
able to supply us with an answer."
An expedition to the islands Is
planned.
Dated by Radiation
Age of the carvings was deter
mined by C. E. Borden, anthro
pologist at the University of Brit
ish Columbia, who measured the
radiation of one of the specimens.
The carvings include clasp-like
objects about lVi inches long, hol
lowed cylinders, rectangular tab
lets and short stone bars with
deep grooves.
Several of the pieces have
spaced holes in them. Particularly
mystifying is a doughnut-shaped
piece.
