Trip to the Jemez Province Friends of Archaeology Trip

Explore Jemez Province, a cultural area of more than 40 pueblo sites, north of present Jemez Pueblo. The nine largest pueblo sites in the area possess more than 1,000 estimated rooms and a great kiva. Large populations lived at high elevation; and rainwater farming, large pueblo-small structure architecture, and Jemez Black-on-white pottery are characteristic. Sites in Jemez Province occur at elevations as high as 8,400 feet and date from AD 1350.

Lead archaeologists are Chris Toya, a Jemez Pueblo tribal member, archaeologist, and expert in traditional knowledge and language preservation; and Dr. Jeremy Kulisheck, project manager and emergency response archaeologist for the Santa Fe National Forest.
