Notes
I mentioned in the last post about the Mimbres branch of the Mongollon culture, centered around southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. What you are seeing in this image are the remnants of their housing in the area, a pithouse village, common during the Three Circle (A.D. 825-1000 roughly) phase. The base of the house was a dug out pit with plastered walls built up around it. The Mimbres were well known for their distinctive pottery, decorated with often geometric, bold black and white designs. This village area was still littered with small shards of the pottery.

An interesting picture made even better with your explanation of this place. It must feel as if a "find" is waiting just ahead as you walked around this place.

Isn't that something how people lived, laughed, worked, played on these grounds and now it's this.

Cool. I'd love to go tromping around and be able to see stuff like this.
