- Summary:
- Produced in California by Californians, this is an award-winning archaeological film that follows Dr. Thomas Layton's quest to uncover the origins of Chinese artifacts that he found while excavating a Native American site in Mendocino, California. Through his exciting research and the film's stunning visuals, viewers are taken on a journey, a journey that connects a mysterious shipwreck, the Pomo Indians, some Boston merchants, some Chinese opium smugglers, and Gold Rush California. These vast cultural connections put California on a unique historical path, and discovering it all began with the discovery of a handful of potsherds.
