Review:
The Cajon Group is a small village in the Hovenweep National Monument that is situated at the head of a small canyon and was once home to up to 100 people. Constructed in the same configuration as other villages in the monument such as Hackberry and Holly, the Cajon Group features several small structures tucked beneath a ledge, along with several pictographs painted in the Mesa Verde pottery style, and an earthen dam built to store water. The remains of a remarkable circular tower stand on the western slope of the canyon and demonstrate the expert skills of the ancestral Puebloans that lived at Hovenweep.
