Site Boundary Description |
Site 5MT10711 is part of a cluster of five Ancestral Pueblo sites on the westernmost ridge at Indian Camp Ranch. Sites with primary Basketmaker III components are 5MT2032 and 5MT10714 across a driveway to the southeast and 5MT10713 adjacent and south of the site. A Pueblo II habitation (5MT2031) is directly northeast of the site.
