question I'm convinced that theSP anchors came from Chinese boats ' The stone anchors were found on two occasions by different groups and made available to Monarty, an authority on preh1stonc ubmarme archeology. Moriarty a.nd Pierson have studied and photographed the artifacts and taken specimens need- ed for further testing. In 1976 a private diving expedition found two stone objects - one c-ylm- drical and the other an equilateral triangle - along with other sin p artifacts off Palos Verdes Peninsula, An earlier d1scoverv was made in 1972 by divers from a ·u .S. Coa~t and Geodetic Survey research ship llff Point :-.rendicino. The USCGS crew hauled up a large round stone with a hole in the center The stone was coated with a thin layer of man- ganese. Moriarty said the accumulation of manganese led to calculations show- ing that the stones had been on the floor of the sea for perhaps 2,000 to 3,000 years. (Continued on B-8, Col. I)

included in a review article by Fang Zhongfu, a researcher at the Mari- time Institute of the Academy of Sciences under China's Ministry of Transportation. The article summed up 30 years of research on the histo- ry of visits to other countries by ancient Chinese seafarers. Similarities in inscriptions, carv- ings and ornamental designs be- tween artifacts found in South Amer- ica and Central America and those unearthed in China have been noted for decades, Moriarty said. "But no archeologist wants to stake his repu- tation on fragmentary evidence that could be written off as artistic coin- cidences or just plain mistakes. "This is the first time we've had reallv roncrete evidence that will give ·us a definite answer The minor chemical constituents ot stone vary considerably from quarry to quarry," he said. "A geologist can identify a match just as positively as a ballistics expert can identify the gun a bullet came from." Moriarty said, "We're still seeking further vitrification, but there is no

University of San Diego archeolo- !lst Dr. James R Moriarty will be Jtnding specimens from ancient -one anchors found off the Califor- ija coast for geologic tests neces- l~ry to confirm whether the lime- tlone anchors came from ancient ( inese quarries. "The opening up of Chinese and tlnerican relations and the lessen- 1,g of tensions between the two rations has allowed scholars to com- aunicate on a level that was not IDSSible before," Moriarty said. He sent word of his studies to roted Chinese archeologist Jia ~npo and a collaboration was regun. Recently the work of Moriarty and graduate student Larry Pierson was·

the point' that a crossing of the Pacific Ocean was plau- sible, either by the direct route or via the Bering Straits. Zhongfu said Moriarty and Pierson's data gives a boost to the direct route across the Pacific. The article quoted exten- sively from the "History of Liang" (502-557 A.O.) about a visit to the land of Fu Sang 10,000 kilometers to the east of China. The coun- try was named for an abun- dance of the plant "Fu Sang", the century plant or Mexican agave. Descriptions of the Fu Sang peoples' customs and skills in the Chinese docu- ment match those uncov- ered by foreign and Chinese scholars in the earliest his- tories of Mexico, Zhongfu said. He also reported simi- larities between ancient Central and South Ameri- can and Chinese figurines, copper coins, inscriptions and designs.

this period, he noted. Zhongfu said in the third century, the kingdom of Wu (222-280 A.O.) claimed a command of 5,000 boats, the biggest of which could carry 3,000 people. Records show the navigators were able to calculate both speed and distance and some of the boats sailed beyond the South China Sea. The Chinese archeologist said that two centuries later the knowledge and techniques in maritime navigation of the ancient Chinese had improved to

(Continued from B-3) Such anchors were not used by early peoples of the North American coast, he said, but they were com- mon in ancient China Moriarty received a copy of Zhongfu's paper and is having it translated. A Chinese news agency reported that the article re- views ancient writings and archeological finds that in- dicate contact between China and the New World. Zhongfu reported that many Chinese writings as far back as the Eastern Jin dynasty (317-420 A,D.) refer to •·stone column" -anchors He also noted that a ceramic miniature boat with stonr anchors on its bow was found in a 1977-78 excavation of an Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 A.D.) tomb 1n Guangzhou (Canton). The article also reported historical evidence of very advanced shipbuilding and maritime navigation in China 2,000 years ago.

\ 1 The offensive line./'says Gilbert/'•could be the best we've ever had •~Guard Pete Inge, a second Tearn all- American, is the up front leader, The Aztecs striking force, will have faster receivers to throw to, including Patrick Henry High's Kipper Bell, 9.5 sprinter who has been a revelation. Both the· Aztecs and the Tigers feel that their offenses are further along than their defenses, e-fensively the Aztecs will likely sport ten new starters, with nose guard Randy Matsin the only holdover. On the current depth chart only two of the front seven have ever played a down a SDSU. Despite the inexperience, it is geherally thought that this could be a more talanted unit than a_ year ago. Like the Aztecs, the Tigers experienced more returning offense players than defense. The Tigers nevertheless anticipate a more aggresive and effective stop unit. The Pre-Season reports are that the Tigers expect to be stronger up front and in the .secondary, whi the line- backers are rath r green, The game-will be played at Columbias Faurot Field, Sept. 8. The gam will be brodcast live on KFMB Radio at 11:30A.M., and will be seen on tape delay Television at 11:00 p,m. Sat. on Channel 6.

"By far the best ;f.ootball team we've ever played at San Diego State," That's how coach Claude Gilbert des- c ribes the Aztecs 1979 opening opponent, the U. of Missouri. And good.., the Missouri Tigers are, last year with a Sophomore-Junior Team, finished 8-4. The Tigers who are ranked twelfth in both ore-season polls and the Liberty B wl chdmpions return with one of the Nation's most powerful offenses. The Tigers were led by two underd.assmPn fullback James Wilder and •quarter- back Phil Bradly. Bradly, who led the B.ig Eight in' passing and total offense, guided the Tigers offense which averag- ed 414 yards-per game. The Tigers defeated LSU 20-15 in the Libverty Bowl. Aside from the BowJ, their biggest victories came in the season opener (3-0) over Notre Dame, and the finale (35-31) over Nebraska. The Aztecs suffered their first losing season in 18 years, when they entered the Western Athletic Conference. The Aztec wer led by quarter- back Mark HaldclJ'the .na- tion's number three passer in '78. The Aztecs who averag- ed 384.3 y per game, feel that they will be bring a much stronger offense into this season.
