Santa Fe National Forest, Rio Arriba
County, NM. The site is located on a
north to south trending ridge north of
Forest Road 313 and consists of two
features, a unit house and an undefined
rock alignment which may have been a
terrace. The artifact assemblage numbers
in the thousands and is comprised of
pottery sherds and flaked and ground
stone. Diagnostic pottery types
documented include Gallina Black-ongray, Red Mesa Black-on-white, and
utility wares. Flaked stone includes
chert and obsidian. Ground stone
