A kiva, or room used by Puebloans for religious rituals, adjacent to the home of Archie and Mary Hanson, founders of Indian Camp Ranch, a highly unusual development of residential estates atop a plateau in southwestern Colorado's Montezuma County, near Cortez. The 1,200-acre development is comprised of 32 parcels atop more than 210 archaeological sites from the Anasazi -- or Ancient Ones -- period more than 2,000 years ago. While Colorado property-rights laws allow the parcels' owners to extract artifacts such as ceramic pots from their land, the development's covenants require strict oversight by certified archaeologists and forbid the sale of these artifacts. The kiva and other nearby archaeological ruins are protected by a steel roof and stone wall built by the Hansons
