History of the Site Name |
The site was named by the landowners, Pat and Sarah Hatch, during the 2015 field season for the extreme disturbance at the site and a pair of badgers that produced a brood in a den visible 100 m east of the site. The name was reviewed and approved by the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center Native American Advisory Group.
