 Crowning
a desert hilltop is an ancient pueblo. From a roof top a child scans the
desert landscape for the arrival of traders, who are due any day now.
What riches will they bring? What stories will they tell? Will all of
them return? From the top of the Tuzigoot Pueblo it is easy to imagine
such an important moment. Tuzigoot is an ancient village or pueblo built
by a culture known as the Sinagua. The pueblo consisted of 110 rooms including
second and third story structures. 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. The site
is currently comprised of 42 acres.
