Infantry Camp 2 of the 1541 Coronado Expedition.

Artifacts found in the Road. Indications are that this was the location of the infantry camp of Corornado's expedition of 1541. Most of the Crossbow points were found in this location and the March 2004 artifacts substantiate that this was the location of horses and men with cross bows and harquebus or arquebus (blunderbus type gun).

Three lead balls found near the road. Potentially "Buck and Ball" loads for a 16th century gun	The hole that the crossbow bolt was found in
