Flagstaff Area--Sunset Volcano and Prehistory

If you're interested in Sunset Volcano and its effects on the peoples of the Flagstaff area and haven't watched this video, you'll want to. In the Shadow of the Volcano: Prehistoric Life in Northern Arizona is about the U.S. 89 Archaeological Project: Sunset Crater and the History of a Volcanic Landscape.

In the winter of 2003, the Center for Desert Archaeology published an issue of Archaeology Southwest Highlights--In the Shadow of the Volcano: Recent Research at Sunset Crater about the findings of the project.

It's really interesting information about the archaeological findings from the time of the eruption of Sunset Volcano. And I think, a must-read before a visit to Wupatki National Monumant, Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument and Walnut Canyon National Monument.
