Reconstructing Pueblo Bonito (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract
The study of Pueblo Bonito focuses on the architectural reconstruction and the symbolic interpretations of its design and spatial relationships. Historical explorations and excavations, particularly those documented by William Henry Jackson and later by the National Geographic Society under Judd's direction, provide a foundational understanding of the site's evolution. The symmetrical configurations within Pueblo Bonito are analyzed as a means to convey cultural and ritual significance, challenging the perception of the site solely as a residential area and highlighting its potential esoteric functions.

A Research Design for the Upper and Lower Ruins, Tonto National Monument
Tonto National Monument, in the Tonto Basin of central Arizona, contains two well-known cliff dwelling sites: the Upper Ruin (AZ U:8:49 [ASM]) and the Lower Ruin and South and North Annex (AZ U:8:47 [ASM]). The integrity of both of these sites, but particularly the Upper Ruin, is threatened by natural deterioration and continued ground disturbance from rodent and water action. Mitigating these disturbances may entail subsurface archaeological excavation in future years. The research design presented in this volume is designed to guide future archaeological work at Tonto National Monument by relating the cliff dwellings to the larger sphere of Tonto Basin research and archaeological research in the American Southwest in general. Seven research themes are presented that are believed to be applicable to data recovered from the cliff dwellings. The significance of each theme, appropriate sampling methods, and how the theme is related to Historic Contexts established by the Arizona State Historic Preservation Office and the Tonto National Forest are discussed.
