I'm curious why are the mayan/olmec style celts so similar to the mound builders style celts?? Any connections our trade between the 2?

I have celts from dozens of countries, and there are very few really unique styles. There are only so many ways to make a functional celt.
Guatemala, Panama, some of the Pacific Islands, and a couple of places in China have functional designs/materials that are are really unique to the cultures that made them. Pretty much every other style can be confused with something else from somewhere really far away.
Grooved Axeheads like those found in the Midwest & parts of Canada? Those things are unique, you'll find almost nothing like them anywhere else.
