30 déc. 883 av. J.-C. - Lillooet Tracks

Description:

During about the same timeframe, a Native in what is now the Lillooet area, British Columbia, created a curious stone foot. The big toes is missing along with about 40% of its total length towards the heel. The center of the upper surface has been hollowed out to form a shallow bowl. It has been deemed a “medicine man’s ceremonial bowl.” It has been reasoned that the foot may have been patterned after a sasquatch footprint. As some Native people give sacred significance to the sasquatch, it
might be speculated that use of the bowl would thereby give a mixture, “added significance.”

The first two images (top) on the right show the foot, from below and above. The third images shows the foot in the hands of a lady museum curator. The last image shows what the complete foot possibly would have looked like--the bowl portion on the front end has been duplicated, placed upside-down on the lower end, and the toes deleted.

The length of the foot is about 8.8 inches, as is. Adding the lower portion, a shown, would make the total foot about 12.3 inches, although there may have been a more extended heel.
