GREAT PUEBLO PERIOD OF THE McELMO DRAINAGE UNIT, A.D. 1075-1300
MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION

McElmo Creek flows west through Montezuma County and eventually joins  
the San Juan River. The McElmo drainage area is one of 10 cultural  
units defined by archaeologists within the northern San Juan drainage  
area, part of the Mesa Verde region, located in the Colorado Plateau  
Physiographic Province of southwest Colorado and southeast Utah. This  
region, including Mesa Verde National Park, was once peopled by an  
ancient tribe of Native Americans known to later inhabitants as the  
Anasazi.

The Great Pueblo Period (1075-1300) refers to a time in Ancestral  
Pueblo development that began with the construction of increasingly  
larger cliff dwelling and mesa top settlements that show evidence of  
community planning. These sites contain Chaco-style great house sites  
and were sometimes associated with roads or great kivas. The period  
ends with the abandonment of these settlements. (Accepted by National  
Register in 1992, accepted for State Register 6/9/2004)

Additional water must have been available somewhere nearby for the  
estimated 75 to 150 villagers at Castle Rock to have survived there  
for 20 years. McElmo Creek lies approximately 600 m (2,000 ft) south  
of the site. It is not known whether this creek was a permanent water  
source at the time Castle Rock was inhabited; irrigation water has  
supplemented its flow since the late 1800s. An early explorer  
reported that the creek bed was dry in July 1874.

get as far as her eyes."

Traps for large animals in which a heavy weight is arranged to fall

[280:29] "Pretend I'm there on business, use a different name--"

The section begins with Frank disguising his identity in Denver, and  
ends with Wren suggesting he do the same in Telluride. In between it  
is Wren appearing in a variety of guises.
