Notes: Museum of Northern Arizona Research Paper 3, Anthropology Research Report 3.  Perhaps the most recognizable landscape in the West, after the Grand Canyon.  “An intensive survey was designed to ascertain the location, extent, and nature of the aboriginal ruins, determine the degree of natural deterioration and vandalism present, and serve as a basis for planning a future program of excavation and stabilization in the area.” (From the Introduction).
