Abstract

AbstractThis report presents a traceological comparison of archaeological artifacts from East Asia and pre-Columbian America. By analyzing microscopic manufacturing defects — including tool chips, lathe centering offsets, and standardized engineering patterns — the study demonstrates a statistical probability of 1 in a billion for accidental coincidence. The evidence suggests the physical movement of specific toolsets across the Pacific via the Kuroshio Current, long before the documented European contact.
