University Diggers Return To Point Of Pines Site
University of Arizona field school opens its thirteenth season at Point of Pines in the Apache Reservation near Tucson. Dr. Emil Haury directs the dig, aiming to reveal the city of 800 rooms that thrived after 1200 A.D. from 1350 to 1400, with later collapse around 1450 amid weather and social disarray. Twenty three students attend, including groups from Barnard, Cornell, Washington, and Wisconsin.
