5. CONFLICT AT LIMESTONE CLIFF DWELLING

In Arizona, there’s an ancient site known as Montezuma Castle National Monument. It’s 900 years old, and centuries ago, the area was suddenly abandoned by its occupants. Archaeologists couldn’t figure out the reasons, but Native American oral histories reveal the occupants left the area because of conflict and death. Archaeologists aren’t ruling out this theory, but more evidence is needed. Another argument is burning due to evidence of a massive fire and remains do show blunt trauma before burning.
