About this book
Conflicting accounts of an Arizona ruin give Cosmos Mindeleff a practical problem to solve: determining the building's size and its relationship to the remains around it. His archaeological report examines Casa Grande near the Gila River, separating the main structure from the wider group of mounds and walls. Earlier visitors' descriptions become evidence to compare, especially when their measurements refer to different parts of the site.
The study moves from that history of observation to the building itself, with ground plans, wall elevations and detailed measurements. Mindeleff records smooth interior surfaces, changing wall thicknesses and irregular room dimensions, using these features to test claims about construction. Readers interested in Arizona antiquities or the history of archaeological recording can follow an investigator weighing inherited accounts against physical evidence. The attention to specific walls and rooms gives the report its particular character.
