ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES OF SEDONA AZ - The Southern Sinagua began building their large pueblo communities in what is now the Sedona region around 1150 CE, and they thrived there for 350 years. Three notable sites in the Verde Valley are the neighboring Tuzigoot, Palatki and Montezuma’s Castle settlements. Walnut Canyon is outside the Verde Valley, but was developed early on by the Sinagua, keeping in close association with their kinfolk 35 miles south. The Sedona region cliff-dwellings, pueblos, petroglyphs, and pictographs are some of the finest in the American Southwest. We’ll visit the major sites and the minor ones too, examine the ancient culture, and discover fascinating relics near the New Age mecca of Sedona, Arizona.AUTHOR - Brad Olsen is a Contributing Editor for World Explorer magazine and has written several guide books.
