The Cultural Landscape of the Caja del Rio/Los Aguajes Pueblo

May 7, 2016


Saturday, May 7, 2016
Cost of trip: FOA members: $85, non-FOA members: $95

Join Santa Fe National Forest archaeologist, Mike Bremer, and National Park Service volunteers, Bill Davis and Jerry Cooke, on a tour of the Aguajes landscape. On the approximately 3-mile hike (moderate difficulty) we will view the pueblo itself, fieldhouse structures, agricultural features, local shrines, a world shrine, petroglyphs and two large lithic fields that date from the Archaic to the Aguajes periods. We also will trace some ancestral trails to discover how they connect to the pueblo.

The trip will be a full day starting at 8:00 am and ending about 4:30 pm. Car-pooling will be necessary in high-clearance 4-wheel drive vehicles (the road into Aguajes is very rough). (Note: If there is rain on May 7 or up to 2 days before, the trip will need to be rescheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2016 because the road will be impassable.)

This trip will have a limited number of participants. Sign-up begins at 7:00 am on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 by calling (505) 982-7799, ext. 6. Difficulty: Moderate with moderate hiking (approximately 3 miles). Cost to FOA members is $85, non-FOA members: $95.
