	Welcome to Anthropology Labs
		Wupatki Pueblo was first observed by European-Americans in 1851 during a U.S. Army exploring expedition by Brevet Captain Lorenzo Sitgreaves (Wallace 1984).
		Wupatki was next explored during the U.S. Smithsonian Institution’s program of archaeological, ethnographic, physical anthropological, and linguistic documentation of the Native Cultures of the West (Hinsley 1981).
		In field notes, Fewkes remarked that Wupatki was, in his estimation, a “pueblo as large as [the Hopi village of] Walpi.” On a sketch map, Fewkes also noted the Wupatki Ballcourt (which he labeled “reservoir”) and the Wupatki Amphitheater (which he also designated “reservoir”, and on another sketch map, “walled reservoir”).

	Arizona - Wupatki National Monument
		Wupatki National Monument is one of several sites preserving pueblos (houses) of ancient peoples, but unlike the Tonto, Montezuma, Casa Grande and Tuzigoot Monuments where there is only one main building, here there are many ruins scattered over a large area of desert northeast of Flagstaff.
		Wupatki is reached by the same loop road that passes the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, adjoining the main north-south route US 89 - there is a single admission charge (just $5 per car in 2004) for both parks.
		Wupatki Pueblo: The Wupatki area is 2,000 feet lower than the volcano so the vegetation is quite different - the loop road descends quite quickly through fir and pine trees, to the arid scrub-covered desert.

	Land Use History of Wupatki and Sunset Crater National Monuments, Arizona (part 2 of 2)

		Wupatki Ruin, the largest in the monument, is especially remarkable.
		Current theory holds that many of the Sinagua that lived in Wupatki and Walnut Canyon moved on to the Hopi Mesas and are the ancestors of the modern Hopi.

	Nature Photography Forum: Frustrated at Wupatki National Monument
		Wupatki is an amazing place, but I had a hard time capturing it artisticly.
		Wupatki is a little different from other sites because the ruins generally sit up and exposed not in a alcove, the scenery surrounding the ruins is expansive, they dot the landscape instead if being centralized, and, finally, the ruins lie in the sight of the Kachina's.
		I don't have great pictures from Wupatki either after several trips, but I think one of the problems is that we need to get to a higher vantage point and shoot down at the ruins with a short telephoto rather than try to shoot low and wide up close.

	Stone and Downum 1999, Non-Boserupian Ecology and Agricultural Risk
		Wupatki National Monument and the Four Corners area of the Southwestern U.S. In this paper we re-examine interactions among agriculture, population, and aggregation at Wupatki, but our larger goals are to 1) delineate the boundaries of Boserupian intensification, and 2) demonstrate a political response to population pressure under non- Boserupian conditions.
		This is consistent with the argument that conditions of agrarian ecology at Wupatki left Boserupian intensification a poor, indeed maladaptive, response to population influx.
		Despite the unique elements of the Wupatki case, such as the ashfall and the location at an ethnic frontier, it is also part of a widespread pattern of pueblo aggregation in the Southwest during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

	CULTURE V. CONSERVATION:DOES A PROPOSED SPECIAL REGULATION THREATEN THE INTEGRITY OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM?
		The DOI was prompted to propose the new regulation when the Superintendent of Wupatki refused to allow members of the Hopi to gather golden eagle hatchlings within the boundaries of the monument.
		First, although the proposal is limited to Wupatki, by setting a precedent for the rest of the System, the proposal may open other areas of the System to a greater range of consumptive activities.
		258 A special regulation for Wupatki creating a religion-specific exception to the general prohibition against activities that deplete park resources would be the functional equivalent of the failed arguments of the terminated employees in Smith—that their religion should exempt them from laws criminalizing peyote consumption.

		There are those, of course, who don't hear the music and will point out that "Wupatki" actually is a Hopi word that literally translates to "long cut house." It says so in the guidebook, along with such other tidbits as this:
		And the human need to know also continues, but, unlike the serenity of Wupatki itself, it generates a degree of controversy.

		I have seen what were probably migratory groups of Sage Thrashers in March of each of the last two years at Wupatki.
