Aztec West Ruin: Pre-Backfilling Architectural Overview Images

Summary

This project consists of overview images of rooms, kivas, and other architectural features photographed at Aztec West Ruin. Most of the photos were taken in the northeastern and eastern portions of the great house prior to extensive backfilling of much of the area excavated by the American Museum of Natural History in the early 20th century. Photographs were taken by Gary Brown between 2000 and 2001. They were originally shot as Kodachrome slides and subsequently scanned to digital media.
