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

third story structures. The first buildings were
built around A.D. 1000. The Sinagua were agriculturalists with

left the area around 1400. The site is currently comprised of 42
