POLLEN AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSES OF SAND CANYON PUEBLO: FEASIBILITY STUDY AND PRELIMINARY INTERPRETATIONS (1985)
Sand Canyon Pueblo is located in Montezuma County in the southwest corner of the state of Colorado. This late Pueblo III site is situated at the head of Sand Canyon at an elevation of 6800 ft (2073 m). Sand Canyon ultimately drains into McElmo Creek at an elevation of 5400 ft (1646 m). Considerable topographic diversity is noted in the area, which would have provided habitats for a variety of flora and fauna. A spring is located at the site, and arable land is abundant on the mesa top...
Sand Canyon Pueblo Fauna (2018)
Faunal data from Sand Canyon Pueblo, excavated by Crow Canyon Archaeological Center 1989 through 1993. Faunal analysis was by Robert J. Muir and Jonathan C.
