"Antiquities of the Mesa Verde National Park: Cliff Palace" by Jesse Walter Fewkes is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This detailed work focuses on the archaeological excavation, restoration, and cultural significance of Cliff Palace, a prominent prehistoric cliff dwelling located in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. The book provides a comprehensive examination of architectural features, artifacts, and the social structure of the ancient inhabitants who once called Cliff Palace home. The opening of the text introduces the context and purpose of Fewkes’s research, which began in the summer of 1909. The author describes his appointment by the Smithsonian Institution as director of the excavation and repair work at Cliff Palace, emphasizing the importance of restoring the ruins for educational value and public interest. The text explains how Fewkes and his labor force aimed to reveal more about the cliff-dwellers and to contribute to the existing body of knowledge regarding prehistoric cultures in the Southwest. As Fewkes sets the stage for the detailed descriptions and findings to follow, he also expresses the need for further archaeological work, suggesting that deeper investigations might unearth additional cultural insights about the ancient people of Cliff Palace.
