Besh-Ba-Gowah Archaeological Park
Native American Sites, Globe
Fodor's Review:
For a step 800 years back in time, tour the 2 acres of excavated Salado Indian ruins on the southeastern side of town at the. After a trip through the small museum and a video introduction, enter the area full of remnants of more than 200 rooms occupied here by the Salado during the 13th and 14th centuries. Public areas include the central plaza (also the principal burial ground), roasting pits, and open patios. Besh-Ba-Gowah is a name given by the Apaches, who, arriving in the 17th century, found the pueblo abandoned and moved in -- loosely translated, the name means "metal camp," and remains left on the site point to it as part of an extensive commerce and trading network.
