Sierra Vista development site yields old artifacts
January 2nd, 2009 @ 4:47am
by Associated Press

A mysterious ``circle stone'' is puzzling archaeologists who unearthed it with an ancient village in the West End.

``You don't find little pieces of rock art like that very often,'' archaeologist Avi Buckles said Wednesday.

The stone has caused a buzz of amazement and speculation among his peers.

Buckles works for WestLand Resources Inc., an Arizona engineering and environmental consultancy that has been studying the site for more than a year. The company has offices in Tucson and Phoenix.

Bill Deaver, a senior archaeologist and principal investigator with WestLand, walked among the still-exposed ruins on Dec. 10 and described what is believed to be a desert Mogollon community that preliminary analysis indicates existed about the time of Christ until A.D. 600.
