<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4346843, member: 738"]Whilst settling an estate for a friend, I ended up holding the dubious bag of ancient surface finds collected in 1954 through 1960 by her uncle, an American petroleum engineer working near ancient camel route settlements near Oquir, and Qwatif, or Qatif, S.A. On one collection date he was accompanied by St. John Philby <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_Philby</a>. Some are said to be 4000 years old, another group c. 1550 AD, from a trading town of Chinese and Portugese.</p><p>I contacted the National Museum of S.A. on Nov. 5 but no answer.
