El Morro Valley Prehistory Project (EMVPP)
Summary
The El Morro Valley Prehistory Project conducted survey and excavation in the El Morro Valley of New Mexico between 1999 and 2004. This Arizona State University project was initially directed by Keith Kintigh and, in the final two season, co-directed by Gregson Schachner. Systematic survey was carried out in a number of locations across the valley. Excavations were focused on Los Gigantes, a post-Chacoan great house. Sites discovered and investigated were overwhelmingly late Pueblo III in age. This project complemented earlier work by the Cibola Archaeologial Research Project and surveys by Wake Forest University and the University of Denver.
