DOCUMENT Full-Text Mark D. Elson. Michael H. Ort. Kirk C. Anderson.

Strontium (Sr) isotope analyses of construction wood from the prehistoric Wupatki Pueblo in northern Arizona was undertaken to identify the source of the wood, given that Wupatki is located 20-30 km north of areas where suitable high elevation pine and fir trees are found. Unfortunately, due to the presence of high levels of blown-in dust, the Sr analysis of potential wood source areas could not distinguish between them, negating this research. A secondary goal was to investigate the possibility...
