Does anyone have a link to a major archeological find in the US west

[Rowdyboy]

A rancher found an untouched native American site on his ranch. I believe they were cliff dwellers, a particular tribe who died out hundreds of years ago. Any help would be appreciated!

I remembered the story because I was so tickled he'd done this.

7. What a story!!!

This is simply astonishing!! Who would have thought there was anyplace even like this left in the U.S. I wish there had been more people like Mr. Wilcox 75 years ago. Just goes to show you can be a steward of the land and earn a living from the land at the same time. This is the way old-time ranchers and farmers were. I hope we live up to Mr. Wilcox's dreams for this special place.

place if we don't hurry and get rid of him.
