Can anyone identify a sci-fi book in which an archaeology team on the
moon discovers evidence of advance civilizations, and concludes that
people on earth originated on the moon? The patron had no idea of an
author or title and had read it in the 70's.

Thanks,

This might be Inherit The Stars by James P. Hogan, which was published in
1977. It is the first book in a 4 part series called The Minervan Experiment
consisting of:

Inherit the Stars (1977)
The Gentle Giants of Ganymede (1978)
Giants' Star (1981)
Entoverse (1991)

This could also be a garbled description of "2001: A Space Odyssey," Arthur C. Clarke's companion novel to the movie (which in turn was based in part on a related Clarke short story called "The Sentinel") and a bestseller in the '70s.

I believe this is Mars by Ben Bova. It is an ensemble piece, with characters
from all countries working together on an International Space station on
Mars. The primary character is a Navajo geologist, who almost accidentally
and at the last minute gets invited to go on the mission. His hope is to
locate any sign of life among the rocks on Mars. The plot is very soap
operatic and political. Dynasty in outer space.

Spoiler Warning!!! You might not want to read farther!

In the end of the book, the Native American character discovers what appears
to be a Pueblo structure in a ravine on Mars.
