Tuzigoot, NM

National Monument


Sinagua, 1100
Perched atop a ridge high above the Verde River lies Tuzigoot, the remnants of one of the largest pueblos built by the Sinagua. Tuzigoot, an Apache word meaning "crooked water," was built between the period 1100 to 1450 AD and consisted of two-storied and 110 rooms. The structure and the ruins of other sites in the surrounding area provided shelter for hundreds of occupants.
