Above is an interesting video from Scientific American Frontiers (via hulu.com) about a recently discovered region of the American state of Utah with loads of archaeological sites of an Amerindian tribe the mysteriously almost vanished by AD1300, over 200 years before the arrival of Europeans. The Amerindians vanished, but their granaries and cliff art remain, and are intriguingly situated in inaccessible locations, particularly odd for the granaries, used to store maize.
As the episode is one of the first filmings of the site for ordinary people, the video is especially interesting, as is seeing some of what this tribe of Amerindians accomplished before disappearing from the archaeological record.
