Wukoki is one of the best preserved prehistoric structures within Wupatki national monument, but it has not been reconstructed. The National Park Service partially reinforced the pueblo in 1941 by installing wood braces, props, and wedges. Cement and mud mortars were used to further stabilize the walls. Later a stabilization survey was conducted and the wall again remortared with mud. Test trenches were dug in two of the rooms. This is the only modern excavation of the site.
