In the recent past bat droppings have been collected by guano hunters and it is probable that these were the first people, other than those of prehistoric times, to have used the cave for any definite purpose. While it is quite possible that the Apache Indians may have employed the cave as a camp site, there is no direct evidence of their having established it as a permanent abode. In the foothills are the remains of many mescal roasting pits presenting the characteristics of those used by the...

The ruins lie on the east bank of the San Pedro River some twelve miles by road north of the town of Benson. At this point the river has started to cut into an erosion terrace or bench on which the ruins are located. This bench rises about one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet above the bed of the river, and is eroded by relatively short but deep and steep-banked gullies or arroyos into several tongues of land fanning out toward the river. Evidences of prehistoric occupation are found on the...
