What Is It?

It stands in the middle of one of the linked plazas of a remote, dusty, fallen Pueblo complex that was abandoned, probably because of drought, sometime about 1200 C.E..

It’s not a grave. Ancestral Puebloans didn’t do graves with headstones.

It looks shrine-ish. The unassuming shrines of the Pueblos are often a careful pile of stones.
