Tuzigoot National Monument is the ruins where the Sinagua tribe lived from 1000 to 1400. There were many examples of pottery, arrow heads, etc. in the museum area.
This is a model of what the pueblo style houses would have looked like. The family in the upper room would have needed to climb seven ladders just to get to there room. Imagine carrying water up there!
The ruins are missing the wooden roofs.
The houses were built side by side and on top of each other. Each family had one room. See how small Dad looks at the very top!
One of the rooms was restored to show what it would have looked like.
Lauren found a stone and trough in one room that would have been used to grind corn.
Dad always finds the oddest things. We thought this lizard was cool that blends in with the tree bark.
