Tuzigoot National Monument is a ruin set dramatically on a hill overlooking the Verde River Valley. Occupied between 1125 and 1400 AD, this dwelling once had two stories and 72 rooms. The Sinaguan used local water sources to irrigate their field set below the dwellings. Tuzigoot's most populous period was in the 1200, but by the time the Spanish came through the area in 1583, these dwellings had been abandoned.
