ST. GEORGE, Utah — The excavated site of an unusual ancestral Puebloan pit house was reburied last week, closing the book on a recent effort to solve its mysteries but leaving open opportunities for future researchers.

After a four-month excavation, archaeologists discovered clues pointing to various uses and potential eras of habitation of the house, discovered last year just behind a backyard fence in Dammeron Valley. A bone awl was dated to 500 years ago, but researchers also found evidence of corn farming going back 1,500 years.

They learned little about who might have lived in the house, or for how long, and they are unsure when it was abandoned. 

SANDY — Ever since he was a kid, Michael Hori loved playing in the dirt.

Now, as an archaeologist, he gets paid to do it.

"When something just first comes out, it's kind of a rush. It's pretty exciting,” said Hori, who works with Eco Logic Environmental.

So imagine how excited Hori was when he was monitoring a dig site at Dimple Dell Park in Sandy for Questar Gas and noticed some dark soil that didn’t seem to belong.

"When that happened, I just made sure everybody knew,” he said. “They stopped work for a minute. I called in a second opinion, so we could really get in and confirm what it was I found, and it turned out to be this.”
