As a result, the Sonotobac Museum of Vincennes, where Ward had his collection was closed down by officials of the North West Corporation, in charge of the facility. First Efforts to Catalog the Pieces and Preserve Burrow's Story of Discovery After another presentation by Ward at the 1990 ISAC meeting in Columbus, Ga, Burrows and Prof. Scherz went to Ward's house to photograph the pieces that he still had and to compile some sort of catalog and document what Burrows remembered about finding the pieces that were still available for study. From the several thousand pieces that were taken from the cave in 1982 to 1985, just over a hundred were still available for photography in 1990. This book concentrates on the rock pieces themselves. Dr. Joan Price, an artist, found similarity between symbols on coins from Burrows Cave and coins minted at Port Cities in India.
Recurved bows show on some of the rock pieces.
White believes that the art symbols relate to the descendants of the Phoenicians Schrafranke, whose grandfather studied ancient script from Spain, proclaims that the script is a form of the Etruscan alphabet written in proto Latin, and that it can indeed be read. Schrefranke and Hubbard proclaim that the Burrows Cave pieces relate to the last of Ptolemy dynasty that were destroyed by the Romans about the time of Christ, and name people who disappeared from European history at that time.
