Tuzigoot

On my recent trip to Arizona, we also visited Tuzigoot! The Tuzigoot National Monument preserves a pueblo ruin on the summit of a limestone and sandstone ridge just east of Clarkdale, Arizona. Tuzigoot is an ancient village or pueblo built by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms. The first buildings were built around A.D. 1000. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with trade connections that spanned hundreds of miles. The people left the area around 1400, I'm not sure why.
