Statues from Arizona

My wife has recently inherited three grotesque looking statues that,
according to a 1960 Tampa Tribune newspaper article and other information,
came from a cave about 50 miles from Tuscon, Arizona (found by a gold
prospector in about 1960). There are also some black and white photographs
of the statues, some of which have writing on the back. On the back of
one, it indicates that the components of the statues are: Asbestos fiber,
Charcoal, Silver flakes, Rock Granules, Turquoise chips.
My purpose for writing is to see if there is an anthropologist/archeologist
specializing in Southwest U.S. who would be willing to take a look at the
photographs and give me an opinion as to whether these might be genuine or
a hoax of some sort.
I am subscribed to the list now, so you may either respond directly to me,
or if your reply may have interest to the list, respond to the list.
Thank you.
