First view of the inaccesible portion of Turkey Pen Ruin
Two anthropomorphs hanging out in an overhang
Tyler looking for a way down from the Thumb Ruins
Sunset in the canyons
The famous Green Mask. This site is significant for a number of reasons. The first being that a full face scalp painted exactly like this pictograph was found in northeast Arizona, second Wetherill found the "Princess" here beneath this mask. The Princess was a female Basketmaker burial, her body was painted red and her face yellow, hair intact, buried with two turkey feather blankets (one containing bluebird feathers the other yellow feathers) and several large baskets on her head. Evidence of cannibalism was also found at this site. It is details of everyday life and the rituals of these people that intrigue me. I really want to know what life was like living in these alcoves.
