Description: Robert S. Harris looking through the eyepiece of an alidade. The crew did a fairly thorough survey of a limited area surrounding the Citadel, and they used survey instruments to plot sites, which was quite a breakthrough in the accuracy of site locational techniques. Many of the same sites they recorded in 1933-34 were successfully relocated during the Wupatki Inventory survey in the 1980s. Date: 1933-1934. Collection: Wupatki National Monument (Catalog No. WUPA 19728). - Nalahiku Reconstruciton
Description: Crew reconstructing Nalakihu Pueblo, Spring 1934. The pueblo’s walls have been fully reconstructed to their presumed original height, and the roofs have been rebuilt with native-style materials. For a couple of decades from the mid-30s to the mid-50s, visitors could see Nalakihu in a condition very much resembling its appearance when occupied by people in the late 1100s and early 1200s. The practice of reconstructing rooms was discontinued by NPS in the 1950s and those that had been rebuilt were restored to their original condition, as revealed at the time of excavation. Date: Spring 1934. Collection: Wupatki National Monument (Catalog No. WUPA 19848). - Excavations

Description: The Wupatki ballcourt after excavation and stabilization. Date: May, 1966. Collection: Wupatki National Monument (Catalog No. WUPA 24408). - New Roof
Description: Crew reconstructing roof at Wupatki Pueblo, 1933-34. They are attempting to use native materials that would match the original materials used in construction of the pueblo in the 12th or 13th centuries AD. In the 1930s, the Museum of Northern Arizona reconstructed the newly-excavated Wupatki Pueblo by rebuilding walls to their presumed original heights and adding roofs to the rooms. For a while in the 1930s and 1940s, a few of the rooms served as the residence for the Wupatki NPS ranger and his wife. The practice of rebuilding pueblos was discontinued in the 1950s, and the reconstructed portions of walls and roofs were removed. The condition of Wupatki today is similar to how it appeared when first excavated in the 1930s and again in the 1950s. Date: 1930s. Collection: Wupatki National Monument (Catalog No. WUPA 20074).
