The first supplemental report presented in this section is titled: Two Ancient Rock Inscriptions Indicate an Archaic Chinese Presnece in the American Southwest. As a first of its kind report, the explicit North American ancient Chinese rock writings documented here establish early trans-Pacific voyages and interactions as demonstrable factual events. Importantly, the findings of this study have been independently confirmed by multiple recognized authorities in the academic fields of ancient Asiatic writing and the characteristics and dating of Native American rock art.

The second report, The Ancient Chinese Writings of the Mojave Desert, presents additional evidence demonstrating the historic ancient presence of literate Chinese in North America. Sixteen additional complex ancient Chinese scripts located in the Mojave Desert at a single site are documented in this report. As such these very old, unique, and readable script symbols provide further proof of an early trans-Pacific intellectual exchange. 

Finally, the third paper documents the unique function of a previously unknown Native American site. It is titled: The Hooper Ranch Pueblo Sun Dagger Shrine - Revisited. This indepth manuscript confirms the relationship between a functioning natural rock sun dagger and the Hooper Ranch Pueblo in east central Arizona. Highly embellished by ancient Native populations, this rock formation casts a dynamic line of sunlight onto a panel of ancient rock art figures to mark the summer solstice. In additon, the site functions as an equinox marker prior to and following the summer solstice. Importantly, and with great symbolism, the centerlines of the three nearby Hooper Ranch Pueblo kivas were intentionally designed so that they would align with the location of this natural sunlight phenomenon. It is possible that this natural sunlight timepiece provided the inspiration for the man-made solstice markers located upon Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon.
