PROVENANCE: Rust collection. The history of this collection comes from the private property of Dennis Sipe's White Mountain Hereford Ranch near Springerville, AZ. This well documented prehistoric site was excavated by William Hinckley. Mr. Sipe then wound up with the pottery and artifacts collection, which he kept and displayed until death. After Mr. Sipe passed away, the Rust family acquired the collection. Included is a copy of a history of the ruin (believed to have been written by Mr. Hinckley in 1987) in which it is clearly stated that no burial sites were found or disturbed.
