Woven and braided items including sandals; A U.S. National Monument created to protect Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings in the Gila Wilderness on the headwaters of the Gila River in southwest New Mexico. A museum and visitors center is located at the monument near the TJ Ruins. The exhibits feature artifacts of the Mimbres culture (a subset of the Mogollon People) found at the Gilla cliff dwellings; the general dating for the site (1276 to 1287) stems from dating the wood found in the dwellings by dendrochronology.
