FUTURE EXCAVATION OF CLIFF DWELLINGS

Spring House is an example of the large cliff dwellings in which further

excavation may produce valuable archeological material and information.

As has already been mentioned the early explorers worked extensively in

the ruins and removed an amazing amount of material. Ruins like Spring

House, however, contain such deep masses of debris that it is possible

the cowboys did not do a thorough job of excavation. If the lower

section of this cave were excavated valuable material might be found in

the deeper levels.
