Summary: "Prehistoric Villages, Castles, and Towers of Southwestern Colorado" by J. Walter Fewkes is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the archaeological findings and historical significance of ancient structures in southwestern Colorado, detailing the cultural history of the Cliff-dwellers and Pueblos prior to recorded history. It aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the villages, towers, and castles found in the region, offering insight into their architectural styles and the civilization that constructed them. At the start of the book, Fewkes sets the scene by discussing the contributions of archaeology to the understanding of human cultural development. He highlights the importance of southwestern Colorado, where unique forms of architecture were developed before the arrival of Europeans. Fewkes explains that his purpose is to share observations gathered from fieldwork conducted in 1917 and 1918, focusing on various ruins, such as Surouaro and Goodman Point. He introduces the idea of classifying different types of structures, including villages and cliff-dwellings, and emphasizes the need for further investigation to comprehend the complexities of this ancient culture.
