Graf en een mummie gevonden in een rotswoning, Step House, in Mesa Verde National Park before 1893

This illustration by Gustaf Nordenskiöld depicts the discovery of a grave and a mummy in a cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park. The illustration, created before 1893, shows a detailed drawing of a skeleton in a burial position within the dwelling, as well as a plan view of the structure itself. The artist's work provides valuable insight into the archaeological discoveries and cultural practices of the ancestral Pueblo people who inhabited this region. The illustration offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a testament to the rich history of Mesa Verde National Park.
