Document: F Title: The Archeology of Gila Cliff Dwellings Author: Keith Anderson Source: book The West Fork of the Gila meanders over gravel bottoms in a valley 115 m to 400 m wide. There are small pockets of apparently stable soil, through rocky and sandy, that were in all likelihood productive locations for farming near the river, downstream from Cliff Dweller Canyon. Equally promising are benches and terraces 12 m to 35 m above the river channel. There is a permanent spring 100 m below the dwellings. …the growing season is about 150 days… Anderson, Keith.
