Or 'historic=cliff_dwelling, ruins=yes' ? from my point of view, yes, it is usually preferable to tag ruins with historic=archaeological_site (unless they are modern/recent). I’ve myself used historic=ruins a lot many years ago and have since changed most of them to archaeological site. I also suggest to add historic:civilization to give more context: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/historic:civilization#values And site_type of course: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/site_type I’d see historic=ruins as a very generic fallback when you have no clue what you are looking at, but which should ideally be retagged if you do have an idea what it is.
