This is the Village of Rio Puerco, thought to have been settled by the Pueblo natives (Anasazi) from 1250 to 1380 A.D. It is believed that a series of droughts led them from scattered living to congregating in large pueblo communities, such as this. The Village is located near the banks of the Puerco River. …
Here’s some shots from the Ancient Sinaqua Ruins I visited last week, in Sedona. More coming soon. ?
This is one of many Southern Sinagua single-family dwellings in Sedona. The Sinagua are believed to have moved into the Red Rock Canyons of Sedona sometime around A.D. 1125.
