The Harris archaeological site.

You may be thinking whoopee, some scratches on the walls, and you are right this is no Cliff Palace, but this was inhabited, and they did leave their mark.  Most of these scratches are very ancient, except R.R.Bs 1916 mark ( note how the B has a face and Indian headdress ) and the faint picture of the man with the top hat is believed to have been produced by the Utes.  This is a great representation of a truly ancient culture, almost Caveman sort of stuff.  This fellow named Harris not only kind of found it but conducted the site survey as a non professional Archaeologist, a very passionate gentleman and a long time member of the Chipeta chapter of the Colorado Archaeological Society.
