Caption: Marker detail: 1954 Excavation Photos
Additional Description: The small excavated portion of the pueblo you see today is deceptive — at over 800 rooms, Atsinna was a sizable town, the outline of which can be seen from the air (top left). Atsinna was first excavated in 1954 by Richard B. Woodbury (bottom left) and a Zuni work crew, revealing 12 rooms, including both a round and a square kiva, and numerous artifacts. Stabilization of the uncovered rooms began almost immediately. A sub-floor drainage system was installed and exposed murals were protected (top and bottom right) in 1954.
