Piketon Mounds submitted by aluta on 29th Aug 2010. A view of the large mound, surmounted by a modern standing stone, otherwise known as a grave marker. No doubt it was thought to be an honour among later European-descended arrivals to be buried on the highest of the Indian mounds.

Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (The Southwest)
Visited: Would like to visit
Walnut Canyon Nat. Mon. submitted by DrewParsons on 8th Nov 2008. Walnut Canyon - one of the many homes built under cliff overhangs by the Sinagua ("without water") people who first arrived in this area around 600CE. Prior to that the area had been visited by nomadic Archaic peoples. The Sinagua homes remained undisturbed until the 1880's railway brought souvenir hunters who looted artifacts destroying walls to gain access. The site was declared a National Monument and so protected in 1915.
