Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 204 Summary

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 204 was identified in 2009 during excavations in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately east of the latter and they appear to have shared a common wall throughout most, if not all, occupations. In 2010, additional excavation was undertaken in the southern section of Phyllis Pueblo. This continued research was designed to answer questions about the multiple occupations within Unit 202. The strategy involved eastward expansion into Unit 204, resulting in the collection of data presented here. Research plans did not call for the excavation of Unit 204 in its entirety.
