Definitely not “genocide.” The perpetrators weren’t white.
Therefore, it was just part of their (superior) culture.
***You’re thinking of HWY 344 which curves around South Mtn. This place was right off N-14.***
I camped out there one night about June 6 1971. I was able to see the forest fire in the Santa Fe NF from my camp.
All those links and not one showed the general location of the dig or area.
Also, can you help me on another search. In 1957, before the interstate roads, my dad took us on a trip from El Paso to Clifton AZ. Somewhere on the way we passed a big Indian ruin off on the right(east) of the road. It was on Private property so we took pictures and went on. We have lost those pictures. Do you know where I might be talking about?
I have always been interested in old ruins of such nature.
Thanks for the sympathy. But save it for yourself. You need it a lot more than I.
You are so righteous you probably are thinking to yourself, boy did I really nail that idiot. I’m sorry you parents didn’t do a better job raising you.
I was raised by wolves.
Well at least your not a skin head neo/nazi.(I think) I’m printing out your reply so as to use it in a few classes as an example.
Dude, I don't know what class YOU could possibly be teaching, but you're doing your students a disservice. You have to be one of the most inarticulate, harebrained prigs I've seen on this website. Are you sure you didn't take a wrong turn at DU?
Seriously, if you're no better at teaching than you are at presenting your point, then you should not be influencing impressionable minds. Resign immediately.
Just reminding you about the old adage about never arguing with a fool...;)
The preachey ethnocentrists always seem to have forgotten about Salem and Auchwitz...
That’s what I remember. That’s what I was looking for. Thanks. My point was simply, what happened to them? They got wiped out, probably with help of Indian invaders, same with the Kennewick people.
I thought you meant you had gone through the closets in the State Capitol in SF.
After Tony replaced everything with IBM’s I quit diggin......he ruined the place...........:o)
LOL
Anasazis are interesting. It’s a Navajo word that means “Stranger” or “Not one of us”. Anasazi artifacts look like Celtic artifacts.
Though Anasazi is has been in use for quite a while, it is the Navajo for “ancient enemies,” and is considered to be derogatory.
Archaeologists have been using “Ancestral Puebloans.” However modern researchers prefer either the Hopi term “Hisatsinom” - the “ancient people” or the Tewa language “Se’da” - the “ancient ones.”
Since the Navajo did not arrive in this area until about 1350 AD, their word “Anasazi” shows a previous relationship between the two peoples, and is a clue that should not be discarded.

No matter which way you slice it, it was the “illegals”
That's the translation I've always read...The Ancient Ones.
Most interesting.
They also believe that the Navajos ( descended from Alaska / Canada into the southwest in the 1600’s ? ) were their enemies for centuries. The Navajos killed the pueblo people, stole their food and livestock, stole their women and children into slavery, stole their home lands...
The ancient enemies are currently still fighting...

Everyone knows that native Americans were perfect paragons of virtue who did not observe the evil Christian religion and were carbon neutral!!!
