Something tells me you'd be interested in this, and have probably already been in the area.

Many years ago when I was young, there were potsherds all over the ground at places in Mesa Verde, Bandelier, Chaco, etc. They are long gone now, either surface collected by the parks to preserve them for study or taken by tourists. My parents would strap canvas water bags onto the outside of the car (which made for cool water to drink and water to fill the car when it boiled over) and off we'd go every summer visiting those places.

Ten years ago my wife and I backpacked into a Utah wilderness area and saw the same sorts of things I saw as a boy -- corn cobs, hemp rope, potsherds lying freely. You can still find them if you get off the beaten path. Three years ago my son and I used a GPS to hike off trail across a large Utah mesa and found an arrowhead and lots of potsherds spread across the ground. We left them where they'd been lying for centuries.

Marvelous story about the rancher and his ruin-covered land. I've never done much in the Book Cliffs except ride up dusty dirt roads and look out for rattlesnakes.

Now that the government owns the property it will be looted. They should have left it in private hands.

Wow. Just wow.

Sounds like a scene created by Cormac McCarthy in one of his earlier (better) novels.
