Anasazi Ruins at Keet Seel
Note the retaining wall, with deadman construction. Keet Seel is
part of the Kayenta Anasazi, noted for relatively crude construction
and particularly high quality pottery. Access was hand and toe holds
which run under and diagonally across the NPS wooden added in modern
times. Discovered by the Wetherills, a vast amount of pottery was
stored. Its current locations are unknown.
In Hopi belief, the village was never formally closed and remains
a village.
