| | Description: | Pueblo Bonito is a ruined communal dwelling, the home of
perhaps 1,000 Indians at the close of the eleventh century, A.D.*
*See plate 1, "Pueblo Bonito from the Air." Richard Wetherill's dam is
shown in front of and to the right of the ruin; his combined residence and store,
at the left corner. At the right margin, the road crosses the 1928 bridge, curves
past the site of the National Geographic Society's camp and two abandoned
corrals, to end at the black-roofed building that was the Hyde Expedition's
boardinghouse. Dimly seen below the latter, the old freight road descends to
cross the arroyo, passes a small ruin on the shadowed arroyo edge, and turns
southward. |
