| Marker Text |
In 1907, Dr. T. L. Eyerly, Floyd V. Studer and other archaeologists discovered here "The Buried City." These pueblo ruins were built by the Panhandle Pueblo Indians who were agriculturists, stone house builders, pottery and basket makers. Dr. Warren K. Moorehead partially excavated this ruin in 1919-1920. Some archaeologists and historians agree that the well-built stone houses were in ruins when Coronado explored this region in 1541. Erected by the State of Texas 1936 |
