The village reconstructed in VR as it might have appeared around 1200
A.D. The still unfallen "Threatening Rock" on the cliff to the
north was imaged using Adobe Photoshop cloning tool. Note the "architectural"
walled mounds in the foreground--perhaps unique in the Chacoan world. Contents
of the walled enclosure was found to be mostly clean sand--distinctly different
from midden mounds found elsewhere in the Chacoan world. The southern walls
of these mounds are buttressed with mud walls similar to those found at
the base of "Threatening Rock".
