Thumbs up Ancient villages unearthed in Utah

Here's an excerpt of the article by By Paul Foy of the Associated Press:

"SALT LAKE CITY — For more than 50 years, rancher Waldo Wilcox kept most outsiders off his land and his secret under wraps: a string of ancient Indian settlements so remarkably well-preserved that arrowheads and beads are still out in the open.
Archeologists are calling it one of the most spectacular finds in the West.

Hidden deep inside Utah's nearly inaccessible Book Cliffs region, 130 miles from Salt Lake City, the prehistoric villages run for 12 miles and include hundreds of rock art panels, cliffside granaries, stone houses built halfway underground, rock shelters and the mummified remains of ancient inhabitants."

I just hope the area stays preserved.
