A judge in Arizona has temporarily halted the bulldozing of 870-year-old Hohokam ruins in north Phoenix.

The judge issued the order after the state accused a company of trespassing and violating a verbal agreement. Alameda Building Components admitted it extended a dirt road across state land without permission.

The company is grinding up a mountain on which the ruins are located to make roadbed fill and concrete mix.
