Cotton Indian Cloth or Blanket found at Clear Creek Ruins.
The Clear Creek Ruins are the remains of a positively enormous settlement located on an historically significant trade route. Sakwavayu (Hopi for blue water) was a village on a high mesa near the modern town of Camp Verde. The Sakwavayu community, like Montezuma’s Castle and Tuzigoot, was built up during the 1100’s, but this one continued to be occupied through the 1500’s by the Sinagua then again through the 1800’s by the nomadic Yavapai. The site was within the boundary of the 1870’s indian reservation called The Old Military Reservation and was certainly used by the Yavapai during this decade of confinement before being moved to the San Carlos Reservation. The stone pueblo buildings on the mesa had 48 rooms, some as many a four stories high.
Located on the south side of State Route 260, three miles east of the Verde River, Clear Creek Ruin is believed to have been the largest habitation site in the Verde Valley. Sitting atop a steep cliff overlooking West Clear Creek, the ruin consist of both cavates (hand carved caves) and a large pueblo complex. The site was proposed as a National Research Monument in 1933, but federal funding was unavailable.
