Context (Field collection)
According to McKenny Hughes' account (1893), this was found in a 'village [that] consisted of caves, excavated in the top of a steep hill of lava, under the tower San Francisco Mountain... The cave-dwellings occurred on the top of a small hill of rather scoriaceous lava, about eight miles north of Flagstaff and half-a-mile east of the trail to Cedar Ranche' (p. 23-24).
