Escalante Pueblo
Escalante Pueblo submitted by bat400 : Escalante Pueblo, County, Colorado. This pueblo foundation is from approximately 1130 AD, built by the Ancestral Puebloans. It is on a hilltop with Sleeping Ute Mountain to the south. Photo by bat400, June 2003. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ancient Village in Montezuma County,Colorado.
This pueblo foundation is from approximately 1130 AD, built by the Ancestral Puebloans. It is on a hilltop with Sleeping Ute Mountain to the south. There are multiple rooms, closely packed around a central Kiva.

The pueblo ruin is on a hill top above the Anasazi Heritage Center, a wonderful museum just to the west of the Delores. The museum is part of the Canyon of the Ancients Monument. A paved walkway takes you from the parking area to the hilltop. When I was there there were warnings about mountain lion in the area, and requests for visitors not to walk alone.

Tom Wetherill collection of Mesa Verde Country Data on Display. by bat400 on Tuesday, 15 May 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
"If not for Tom Wetherill’s deathbed wish, paper wasps might still be nesting in the century-old photo albums collected by his grandfather, one of five brothers who made the modern discoveries of Mesa Verde and other Indian ruins in the Southwest. Though later archaeologists ignored the Wetherills, maligning their work as insufficiently rigorous, the family kept records, books and photographs that are unusually intact. Their collections documented new plant species, an early dinosaur dig and artifacts of the Anasazi basket makers.
"The Anasazi Heritage Center in Dolores, Colo., displays Tom Wetherill’s collection."
A private seminar for the Wetherill family will take place to help determine where and how to preserve their individual collections.
