Dendrochronology of Historic Structures Associated with the Acequia de San Jose de la Cienega in San Fidel, NM

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

A grant was secured from the New Mexico Archaeological Council to conduct dendrochronological studies of a number of structures near the village of San Fidel, New Mexico. Dendrochronological samples were obtained from a breeched and abandoned reservoir dam, a partially standing abandoned adobe residence, and an occupied adobe residence. Cut dates were determined from the samples from the dam and the occupied residence. The data from this research is being used to help support precedence dates in the adjudication of water rights for the Acequia de San Jose de la Cienega, the agricultural irrigation ditch that serves the San Fidel community.
