Site Summary: Kinishba Ruin is a 600 room Ancestral Puebloan village occupied from around AD 1250 to 1400.
Kinishba was excavated and partially reconstructed by Dr. Byron Cummings of the University of Arizona from 1931 to 1939.
The site is now managed by the White Mountain Apache Tribe, whose stewardship is protecting and preserving the site, with the help of the Saving America's Treasures program.
