Notes: Papers of the Peabody Museum, Volume 39, No. 2. “The site was small and inconspicuous but it lay with the frontier zone of settlement by Anasazi peoples from the north and by Mogollon peoples from the south. For this reason it was selected for study because it appeared to have been occupied by elements of both cultural groups, probably during the 10th and 11th centuries.” (From the Preface) If you’ve never read Watson Smith, he’s a treat.
