Summary

This is an Arizona Site Steward file for the Payson Rock Ruin site, located on Tonto National Forest land. The site consists of a masonry complex, storage and occupied rock shelters, bedrock grinding features, prehistoric and historic petroglyphs, a wickiup ring, and associated artifacts. The site appears to have first been occupied by the Payson Tradition before being reoccupied by the Apache in historic times.

The file consists of a heritage inventory form and three hand drawn site maps. The earliest dated document is from 1954.
