1851 lithograph of Wupatki Pueblo  

Did You Know?
The ruins at Wupatki were first described by Lorenzo Sitgreaves during his expedition in 1851. Camping near Wupatki Pueblo, he recorded that the ruins must have been the remains of a large town covering 8 or 9 miles, and that the pottery was thickly strewn over the ground.
