Wupatki

Had a good trade for cards including this one of a pre-Puebloan ruin located near Flagstaff, Arizona. The area has many ruins dating to the regional migrations that occurred around 1100AD. It has a multistory dwelling, ballcourt, kivas constructed from local red sandstone. Residents farmed land that had been improved by a volcano eruption, made pottery and participated in trade. The sites were in decline by the late 1100s and abandoned in the early 1200s. Today it is a National Monument with limited access.
