Summary "Wupatki Ruins Trail, Wupatki National Monument" is a guidebook published by the Southwest Parks and Monuments Association, in collaboration with the National Park Service, for exploring the Wupatki National Monument, likely written in the mid-20th century. This publication provides a detailed description of the historical and archaeological significance of the Wupatki Ruins, which were inhabited by the Sinagua Indians from approximately A.D. 1120 to A.D. 1210. It serves as both an educational tool and a visitor guide, aimed at enhancing visitors' understanding of the ruins they are observing. The booklet intricately describes various aspects of the Wupatki Ruin and its context within the National Monument, highlighting architectural features, materials used in construction, and the functions of different rooms within the settlement. The text delves into the daily lives of the Sinagua people, their agricultural practices, and connections to neighboring tribes, as well as the environmental influences that led to both the flourishing and eventual abandonment of the site. Each numbered landmark along the trail corresponds to a paragraph in the booklet, allowing visitors to gain historical insights as they explore the ruins. The guide emphasizes the importance of preservation and responsible enjoyment of the natural and cultural heritage found at Wupatki National Monument. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
