Armed with special flares, archaeologists and a team of volunteers are fanning out over part of the Four Corners region to send out smoke signals as part of an experiment designed to learn more about how early Navajos may have defended their territory.
There are more than 200 pueblitos – usually high on rock outcroppings overlooking the San Juan Basin – that archaeologists believe were built by Navajos three centuries ago to protect themselves from Spanish explorers and neighboring tribes.
