Saving archaeological ruins from ruin

How to save archaeological ruins from ruin in Arizona?
The untrained eye might see a lot full of rocks strewn randomly on the ground. The Goat Camp Ruin was once a 30- to 35-room prehistoric pueblo that housed the Central Arizona Tradition in the early 11th century.

But to Penny Minturn, the resident archaeologist with a recently earned doctorate, the site is one of hundreds in the Rim Country that sheltered prehistoric culture known as the Central Arizona Tradition.

She also sees the signs of neglect. Without protection and stewardship, the 10-acre ruin has fallen into disrepair and decay.
