...Southwest Museum, Los Angeles, was pocking the hill with carefully dug excavations. Working with trowels and brushes in 100° heat, they turned up spear points, grinding stones and the charcoal of ancient fires. Their prize find: a piece of human thigh bone. Curator Harrington believes that the site was inhabited seasonally by 300 to 400 people about 10,000 years...
...camp ground is the best site found so far for the study of the early Californian, an unimaginative lowbrow if there ever was one. Pinto Man did his hunting with a "throwing stick" which projected stone-tipped spears. He made no pottery, knew no agriculture...
...desert camp site is only partly excavated, and still may be hiding a lot of answers archeologists would like to know. If Harrington finds bones of animals around the ancient hearths, he will be better able to fix the date of the "Pinto culture." Bones of American camels, or long-horned bison, for instance, would prove that the camp site was inhabited in the late glacial period. If he finds a fair set of human bones, he may establish Pinto Man's relation to other Early Americans, and to the latter-day low-cultured Indians who lived in Southern...

(On net sales of $19,518,654, Bonwit and Anson-Jones netted...
Also aiding the search will be two great ice sheets known to have covered the area approximately 100,000 years ago and 25,000 years ago. Some time in between, this site--La Colombiere--was the home of an unidentified people. However, the scientists claim to be not so concerned with what these people looked like as when they lived...
