Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Chacoan culture is well known for its examples of communal building projects and monumental architecture. Chacoan roads, apart from great houses, are perhaps the most well-known yet enigmatic examples of such. In the Red Mesa Valley of Western New Mexico, we examine how several newly identified road segments manifest themselves on the landscape as well as how they relate to and served to integrate the larger local Chacoan Community.
