where we have no written accounts. All we have to go on is archaeology and material culture objects. And now genetics, obviously, that story about the 14 people who are all related to one another, buried in a single room in Pueblo Bonito. That... Makes the whole story of telling the deep time history of the West even more difficult because now you don't really have you may have.
