Notes: University of Arizona Bulletin Vol. VII, No. 1, Social Science Bulletin No. 10. King’s Ruin and Fitzmaurice Ruin. “…from the Jerome Mountains westward to the Colorado River and from an east-west line through Seligman southward to Wickenburg, was not the scene of very impressive prehistoric developments.” (From the Introduction). “The culture represented at King’s Ruin was unquestionably a part of the great pueblo cultural complex which we find manifested in prehistoric times along the San Juan, Little Colorado, Rio Grande, Mimbres and Gila rivers.” (pp. 75-76). The Fitzmaurice Ruin portion of this volume is only a preliminary report of the work conducted in 1933. Caywood made his bones (that’s an archaeological term) at Fitzmaurice. “Although no tree-ring dates were secured for Fitzmaurice Ruin, the pueblo must have been occupied contemporaneously with King’s Ruin and therefore housed a people who lived between A.D. 1050 and A.D. 1300” (pg. 101)
