Join VVAC and visit the Fitzmaurice Pueblo Site located in Prescott. Guided by a local Site Steward we will view a pueblo that was constructed and occupied by people Archaeologists call the “Prescott culture”. The amount of Prescott culture ceramic wares in the Verde Valley and vice versa shows a very fluid relationship between the areas. The Prescott heartland was located along prehistoric shell and turquoise trade routes connecting Southern California and the Mojave Desert with the Southwest. The site was occupied between 1050 and 1300 AD, a mesa top pueblo existing on the south side of Lynx Creek in present-day Prescott Valley.
After the tour we will have a home style group lunch at a nearby Cracker Barrel restaurant in Prescott. Please note, lunch is an additional expense.
