Subject: [meteorite-list] Prehistoric Gibeon artifacts
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hello Listers,

I often read, about Gibeon, this meteorites was used by native tribes to
make weapons, tools and jewelry, over the last 50,000 years.

However, I have not been able to find *any photos* of these prehistoric
Gibeon artifacts in Internet, or *even any research papers* mentioning
these tools.

It's very strange, but you can directly verify this fact on Google: no
images, no scientific paper.

So, my question: do these artifacts really exist? Where are they? Are there
pictures of them? Does anyone know anything about it?

I wrote several times to the museums of Windhoek, Namibia, but they never
answered: really funny!

I hope to receive some useful information from you.

Many thanks for your kind attention.

Best regards from Rome.

Paolo,
I'm not sure that the ancient nomadic San people who inhabited the 
desert area where Gibeon fell had anything to do with metal as they 
really didn't need it in their culture. The Bantu peoples who came much 
later to the fringes of the desert did have a metal knowledge and made 
metal artifacts but where they got the metal may have been from sources 
other than Gibeon. A Gibeon anvil may have been used by Bantus 
relatively recently. Try searching on San (Bushman) metal artifacts but 
I think you will have a long search.

[meteorite-list] Kalahari Lunars

[Chauncey Walden via Meteorite-list]

There remains the fact that if any of this material actually appears in 
the market it would immediately be claimed by the government of 
Botswana. Their President has a keen interest in meteorites. That being 
said, the last time I was in the Central Kalahari on photographic safari 
I definitely kept an eye out for rocks. The White Kalahari has hundreds 
of feet of sand with organics but rocks are rare.

[meteorite-list] Lincoln LaPaz and the heavenly vistors

[Chauncey Walden via Meteorite-list]

Since the mention of Lincoln LaPaz came up, how many of us know that 
1947 Lincoln was tasked by the Air Force to determine the trajectory and 
velocity at impact of the weather balloon that crashed near Roswell, 
New Mexico?
