English: Excerpt from archaeological expedition to Arizona in 1895
The most accessible cavate dwellings in Verde valley (plate XCI a) are situated on the left bank of the river, about 8 mi southward from camp Verde and 3 mi from the mouth of Clear Creek. The general characteristics of this group have been well described by Mr. Mendeleff in the 13th annual report of the bureau, so that I need but refer to a few additional observations made on these interesting habitations. These cavate lodges afford a fair idea of the best known of these prehistoric dwellings in this part of Arizona. Although Verde Valley has many fine ranches, the land in immediate proximity to these ruins is uncultivated. The nearest habitation, however, is not far away, and it is not difficult to find guides to these caves, so well known are they to the inhabitants of this part of the valley. It did not take long to learn that any investigations which I might attempt there have been anticipated by other archaeologists and layman, for many of the rooms had been rifled of their contents and their walls thrown down, while it was also evident that some careful excavations have been made. There is, however, abundant opportunity for more detailed scientific work than has yet been attempted on these ruins, and what has thus far been accomplished has been more in the nature of reconnaissance. The cemeteries and the burial places of the prehistoric people of the caveat dwellings are yet to be discovered, and it is probable, judging from experience gained at other ruins, that when they are found and carefully investigated, much light will be thrown on the character of ancient cave life.
