Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 201 Summary

Unit 201 is located in pueblo room at Phyllis Pueblo (LA45160). The site is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwest New Mexico. Based on extant ceramics and other temporally diagnostic artifacts (Floor Znd subsurface), the immediate area appears to have hosted occupations between the late seventh and early twenty-first centuries. This time frame includes the Late Postclassic period (ca. A.D. 1300-1450), a primary focus of the Mogollon Prehistoric Landscapes Project (MPLP). Phyllis Pueblo appears to have been a single-story pueblo, apparently including two plazas. Historic construction appears to have utilized prehistoric wall rock, resulting in both site disturbance and post-contact overburden. The site appears to have suffered little if any looting.
