  1. Mad Dog Tower is a Pueblo III site located in the central Mesa Verde region in southwestern Colorado. The max. height of the tower is 3.2 m above the modern ground surface. It might have been a part of a communication/signaling system within a larger community of allied sites (so-called Castle Rock Pueblo community). The site was investigated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in 1988 and later (in 2011-2014) by the Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Krakow (in cooperation with the Anasazi Heritage Center, US Bureau of Land Management office in Dolores, CO).
