Ancient Echoes

Lomaki Pueblo is one of many settlement sites built by the Ancestral Puebloan people northeast of the San Fransisco Peaks near Flagstaff. This structure was occupied from approximately CE 1060 to CE 1225 at a time when the nearby Sunset Crater volcano was in an active phase. Despite the dangers of living near an active volcano, the ashfall from the eruptions enhanced the soil and improved the ancient people's ability to grow crops.
