Twin Angels

Twin Angels is a Chaco Culture Archaeological Protection Site administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Farmington Field Office in New Mexico. Twin Angels sits between the last visible traces of the Chaco Great North Road and Salmon Ruin, on the northernmost reach of the route originating at Pueblo Alto near Chaco Canyon. The complex includes a 17-room great house with 2 kivas, one of which is visible today. Ceramics associated with the great house and with trash deposits in the talus below show the site was occupied sometime between AD 1050 to 1300. Portions of the Twin Angels site were excavated in 1915 by Earl Morris, one of the first archaeologists to work in the region. This work exposed the fine core and veneer walls characteristic of most Chacoan outliers. After episodes of vandalism in the mid-20th century, the great house was stabilized and partially backfilled in 1987.
