Recent Research at El Pueblo, NM

Summary

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

LA 1697 is a small site located on the Rio Pecos near the village of El Pueblo, New Mexico. Although the site was initially registered with the state’s Archaeological Records Management Section (ARMS) in 1978, no other research was conducted on the site until 2016. Over the course of several field sessions during the 2016-2017 school year, a survey and limited excavation were conducted at the site for the purposes of trying to identify the period of occupation for the site and the cultural affiliation of its occupants. An analysis of the lithic and ceramic assemblages recorded at the site has yielded some preliminary results regarding potential trade interactions and the possible cultural affiliation for the site’s occupants, while the location of the site itself provides information on Developmental-Coalition Period (1080-1300 A.D.) pueblo site locations along the Rio Pecos prior to the construction and occupation of Pecos Pueblo.
