Is This Guatemalan Colossal Stone Head an Easter Island Refugee? - Daily Grail

Occasions where a single artifact--especially a portable one--occurs in a completely out-of-place archaeological level or location should be treated with reserve. This avoids elaborate claims based upon likely "false alarms." On the other hand, "failing to hear the alarm" of such a "one-off" can result in a lost opportunity to illuminate earlier trade/communication routes or technical achievements. So what does one do when the novelty that's found is the size of a house? Martin J. Clemens covers the case of one such Mesoamerican monument. Well, Jason Colavito has been monitoring Clemens, and offers Return of the Colossal Stone Head of Guatemala: Now with 50% More Easter Island. Apparently Jason had debunked this claim--which seems to have centered upon a real colossal head--five years ago. And archaeologist Lee A. Parsons had already done so in 1974, as Jason explains. The whole is an interesting story, based upon a core act of artistic love and remembrance that itself seems somewhat improbable but apparently actually happened. (WM)
