At the Roasting Pit:
Top photo - Quids are the fibrous spitballs left after agave leaves are chewed. Who knew? Apparently quids are a common find in cliffside caves in the land of the Sinagua.
And, as usual, Paleo Rob's HAZ guide is very informative talking about this: [ Agave Roasting Pit Trail ]
Per Rob: The Agave Roasting Pit trail has probably the best rock art on display to the general public in Sedona, hands down. Amazingly detailed polychromatic pictographs dot the cliffs between the Bear Cave and the roasting pit. Some of the designs and figures have no explanation, while others Hopi and Apache elders have looked at and explained to previous archaeologists.
