Is there a reverse migration of indigenous people in the Americas? Are Indian tribes retracing their steps back to the Bering Strait land bridge?

Well, there's no proof they ever came across it, but the recent discovery in Alaska of pottery believed to be from the southwest or Central America has raised suspicions not just among archaeologists but the police.

Snowmachiners recently found the items, which scientists say date to A.D. 300 and 500 and are worth considerable amounts on the world market.
