Remains of Tuzigoot, a 110-room stone pueblo in Arizona’s Verde Valley whose oldest rooms date to 1100 A.D. or so, was no more than a mound of rubble in 1933 when archaeologists Louis R. Caywood and Edward H. Spicer rebuilt it to the degree possible while giving jobs to local families in the throes of the Great Depression.
The pueblo was home to one of a series of agricultural who had scattered into smaller rancheros when Europeans arrived in the valley around 1600. “Tuzigoot,” meaning “crooked water,” is an Apache word for a nearby meander of the Verde River that forms a boundary of what is now a U.S. National Monument park.
