Summary

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

Paraje San Diego is a historic campsite situated on El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail in Doña Ana County, New Mexico. Documents from the Spanish colonial, Mexican, and American periods indicate that travelers regularly stopped at this site to collect water and rest before continuing their journey. Archaeological survey, evaluative testing, and surface collection projects conducted at this site in 1991, 1994, and 2017 produced collections of ceramic artifacts discarded by early travelers. This poster combines ceramic and spatial data from all three projects in order to identify and interpret patterns of ceramic use and discard at this site.
