One more important reference, V. Buchwald, 1975, V. 2, p. 399,

'On the top of a mesa a few miles east of Camp Verde, George E. Dawson
came upon a stone cyst in the corner of an ancient Indian dwelling.
Instead of finding a child burial as he expected, he found a 61.5 kg
metallic meteorite wrapped in a feather-cloth. ref-Nininger and
Nininger 1950 p. 106. Considerable pottery was found associated with
the burial by which its age was determined as about 800 years.
ref-Nininger 1952. The meteorite was found about 1915, about 33 km
South of Sedona and 85 km Southwest of Meteor Crater, in Yavapai
County. The ancient Indian cliff dwellings, Montezuma Castle, are
about 7 km North of the find. While the find was briefly reported by
A.D. Nininger ref-1940. and photographed by Nininger and Nininger
ref-1952., it was only analyzed lately by Moore et. al. ref-1968. and
Wasson ref-1968. Wasson concluded on the basis of Ga-Ge-Ir contents,
which were similar withing analytical error to Canyon Diablo, that Camp
Verde was a mass transported from the strewn field of Meteor Crater."

The Camp Verde, Arizona iron meteorite was found on an 800-year-old
Sinagua "altar," wrapped in a feather blanket and was probably
transported from Meteor Crater approximately 100 km to the northeast.?

feather cloth. referenced to Nininger's 1972 Catch [sic] a Falling
Star'.?
