Aboriginal Remains in Verde Valley, Arizona / Thirteenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1891-92, Government Printing Office, Washington, 1896, pages 179-262

An archaeological survey of the Verde Valley in Arizona documents the region’s physical setting and summarizes prior accounts before mapping and classifying prehistoric sites. The author inventories stone villages, cavate lodges, bowlder-marked loci, and associated earthworks, noting their spatial distribution and landscape context. Detailed plans, sectional drawings, and photographs accompany descriptions of room groups, door and window openings, masonry styles, chimneys, and storage features. Ancient irrigation ditches and horticultural modifications are measured and analyzed for construction and function. The report synthesizes structural characteristics and site types to characterize local settlement patterns and construction techniques.
