"This photograph is from the first year of intensive excavation at Kuaua in
1934. The three individuals on the right wearing overalls are likely WPA
workers, and the two on the left are probably anthropology graduate
students from UNM overseeing the work. The photo is looking east, and
captures the Rio Grande and the old train bridge in the background. There
are still remains of the train bridge on the property today along the
primitive trail."[1]

accessed 23 November 2018: "Kuaua is an earthen pueblo excavated in the
1930's by WPA workers, under the direction of qualified
archaeologists. The present visible remains give barely a hint of the
extent of this major pueblo, which contained over 1200 rooms and several
kivas."
