The Sierra Ancha is a rugged mountain range in east-central
Arizona. Emil Haury first documented the cliff dwellings there more
than 70 years ago, and wood from the cliff dwellings was important
in demonstrating the utility of tree-ring dating in areas other
than the Colorado Plateau. Most of the cliff dwellings were
occupied from ca. AD 1280 to 1330, and the majority of prehistoric
settlement in the southeastern Sierra Ancha also dates to this
period. This volume describes the Sierra Ancha Project, begun in
1981, which focuses on the southeastern Sierra Ancha and documents
more than 20 cliff dwellings. It discusses the environmental
setting and factors for locating the cliff dwellings where they
are. It summarizes architectural features and presents detailed
maps of the cliff dwellings. A new rock-art style present in the
caverns is described for the first time. Finally, the settlements
in the southeastern Sierra Ancha are discussed within the context
of this dynamic region lying between the Tonto Basin, Mogollon Rim,
and Grasshopper regions.
