STAKE NO. 3.

Although not the best preserved of the ruins you will visit, this once

was an extensive string of rooms. By tree ring dating we have been able

to establish dates of occupancy--the earliest for these masonry

dwellings being 1120 A.D. They were abandoned between 1200 and 1300 A.D.

Near the center of the room is what remains of an ancient

fireplace--almost obliterated--so please do not walk on it. From here

numerous rooms may be seen on this side of the canyon and directly

across.
