I too have my doubts about the age if the band in LA. They do not say nothing about the finding place/situation so I second Eckhards opinion about the age. And the pattern seems to be of later date, as I see it.   No, the band is fairly securely dated based on iconography and techniques.  I would be happy to post the references that support this.   Nancy   <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Nancy Spies Arelate Studio www.weavershand.com/ArelateStudio.html Save the earth; it's the only planet with chocolate. "But if by 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -- their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal'."
