Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 202 Summary

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 202 is located in the east-central portion of the site, where deposits appear to be highest and prehistoric architecture is partially overlain by an historic structure. The unit contains at least four separate occupations (Z, A, B, and C), with Z being the lowest (i.e., earliest) and C being the highest (i.e., latest). Each has a distinct floor and, ostensibly, associated walls, although no room was excavated in its entirety and for at least one floor we have not yet exposed associated walls.
