OOPArt, from the acronym for Out of Place Artifact, is a term coined by American zoologist Ivan T. Sanderson for a historical, archaeological or paleontological ojbect found in a very unusual, or even impossible, location.The term overs a wide variety of objects, from those accepted and studied by mainstream science such as the the Ashoka pillar in Delhi, India, to so-called "forbidden archaeology," far outside the mainstream. Those include items embraced by creationists and others seeking evidence to refute the Theory of Evolution, plus supporters of such theories as the belief that human civilization was started by aliens. Critics regard many of these cases of OOPArt as being the result of mistaken interpretation or wishful thinking, while supporters regard them as an indication that mainstream science is overlooking huge areas of knowledge, either willfully or through ignorance.
