Phyllis Pueblo (LA 45160) - Unit 206 Summary

The Phyllis Pueblo site (LA45160) is located on Palomas Creek, a western tributary of the Rio Grande in southwestern New Mexico. Unit 206 was identified in 2009 during excavation in the adjacent room of Unit 202. The former is immediately north 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 northward expansion into Unit 206, resulting in the collection of data presented here. Research plans did not call for the excavation of Unit 206 in its entirety.
