This remote mesa top Sinagua dwelling site is nestled deep within the Red Rock District of Arizona's Coconino Forest, near the picturesque town of Sedona. A staggering 462 high-resolution photos taken by a DJI drone were meticulously used to bring this ancient settlement to life in exquisite detail. Looking at the initial model view, north is positioned "up" for optimal clarity. This site boasts an impressive array of remnants, including at least eight distinct rooms, a crumbling defensive wall that hints at a bygone era of conflict, and a partially outlined "plaza" area carefully crafted from native rock. As part of an ongoing mission to safeguard Arizona's rich cultural heritage, this 3D model is a crucial component in documenting "at-risk" archaeological sites threatened by natural disasters or intentional vandalism.
