Photo Journey Through Arizona Ep.4- Tuzigoot National Monument (Native Ruins)
https://i.imgur.com/Fd78GEt.jpg
Just northwest of Phoenix there is another ancient site known simply as Tuzigoot. The name comes from Tonto Apache for "crooked waters" but the original name has been lost in time.

https://i.imgur.com/It1SULy.jpg
My first view of the site from the road. It surprised me to see it appear out of nowhere on the top of this hill.

https://i.imgur.com/SgetxH1.jpg
My telephoto lens came in handy for a closer shot.

https://i.imgur.com/BSCegaX.jpg
There is a small museum on site that displays many of the artifacts that have been found by archaeologists. These pots were reconstructed from shards found scattered throughout the site.

https://i.imgur.com/EHOFtfj.jpg
Stone "metates" were found left behind, which were used by natives to grind various seeds or grains.

https://i.imgur.com/zpeUfE0.jpg
Many different groups once passed through this area, much as they do today. It became an important trade and travel route for people over the centuries with each group leaving behind their mark.

https://i.imgur.com/KdCZwTW.jpg
Differences could have been attributed to tribal groups or to regional styles. There were many different designs found throughout the southwest.

https://i.imgur.com/nLdSubf.jpg
They picked a very particular hill to build on because of the physical orientation to celestial bodies. There were other buildings on smaller mesas nearby but none as large as this one.

https://i.imgur.com/3CuTS88.jpg

To the east there is a small creek which waters a mesquite tree forest. The seeds were an important part of their diet as evidenced by the many grinding stones found left behind.

https://i.imgur.com/0p72uMW.jpg
The walls themselves were constructed from the different large rocks that can be found locally. They vary in shape and size as much as color and texture.

https://i.imgur.com/5DmlKiW.jpg
Construction was done in stages over several hundred years and expanded as needed. There are several distinct time periods that were identified by archaeologists. 

https://i.imgur.com/OJoAGXX.jpg
When rediscovered the entire site was basically a pile of rubble. The mud mortar had given way and the walls had all but collapsed.

https://i.imgur.com/Kz1GGIq.jpg
Beautiful artifacts such as this artisan crafted bowl were found strewn among the rocks and dirt. 

https://i.imgur.com/7KNQ9rS.jpg
There are 110 rooms and areas that were excavated and thousands of artifacts. 

https://i.imgur.com/NrLK8o8.jpg
A reconstructed pueblo at the top of the hill is used to demonstrate how a completed room may have looked. It was closed due to rain damage recently.

https://i.imgur.com/I8xCIFy.jpg
Originally intended to be entered from above, the pueblo style buildings were designed for ladder entry.

https://i.imgur.com/6tMfSoZ.jpg
Some of the later rooms to be added were larger and more rectangular. Perhaps they served a different function such as storage or food preparation areas.

https://i.imgur.com/54O1ZAA.jpg
The mesquite trees are within view here, where they would have also processed the seeds. 

https://i.imgur.com/Hsy1vWr.jpg
Do you see the lizard?

https://i.imgur.com/PY2D7nX.jpg
This one actually turned around for me as so I could get a good picture of him.

https://i.imgur.com/7PqE9ro.jpg
Some of the later additions on the southern part of the site.

https://i.imgur.com/EE95ETi.jpg
This section was undergoing repair by local native tribes. They are using traditional techniques to preserve the original style.

https://i.imgur.com/UDqkciY.jpg
The only known doorway on the site since they traditionally enter the rooms from above. What was this place used for, perhaps a special ceremonial room?

https://i.imgur.com/4bmtrGk.jpg
It started to rain during this trip but that didn't deter me.

https://i.imgur.com/xQLTwzI.jpg
The view from the west part of the site.

Where would you go visit if you could see Arizona?

This is definitely one place I'd like to visit.  
I'd also like to check out Tombstone and Bisbee, Jerome, and Sedona.

I went through Jerome in the mid 1980s, I'm guessing not a whole lot has changed there, except for renovations and stuff like that.  It was a really cool place to visit!  I have 2 pieces of turquoise that I bought there.
