So does Utah- Hovenweep National Monument is just inside southeastern Utah, dating from 1200-1300. I'm not sure why it wasn't listed.

The listing is "oldest intact buildings" and Hovenweep is a ruin. Though, I'd agree that the listing, as published, is a bit strange, given the Molalla Log House is also a ruin (collapsed roof).

Fair enough - but then we could also discuss the restored kiva at Edge of the Cedars. It isn't a replica, it is a restoration from the original structure. Would that count?

I guess the point being simply that it seems more thought could have been put into the states where Native American structures have survived.

I agree. It's a Euro-centric list, no queston.

Cliff Palace (the oldest one listed for Colorado) certainly isn't "intact". It's definitely a ruin.

That's what the page claims, not my words, so...?
