This will be a long, one-day Saturday field trip, June 25, touring Pueblo I-era sites in the San Juan Basin with Tom Windes, a retired archaeologist from the National Park Service. We will visit two clusters of sites near Pueblo Pintado and near Chaco Canyon. The sites represent the small settlements that are the 9th and early 10th century hamlets and villages that preceded the monumental construction of great houses in Chaco Canyon. These sites are roughly contemporary with some of the sites that will be visited on the Dinetah Labyrinth tour earlier in June, but there are significant differences in their appearance.

We have also reserved a group campground in Chaco for the night of June 25. Interested participants are welcome to stay overnight in the campground and join Eric Blinman for an informal tour of downtown Chaco on Sunday morning. Hiking will not be strenuous but high clearance vehicles are recommended and carpooling is highly encouraged.

The trip cost for both days is $170 for FOA members, and $190 for non-FOA members. The cost for the first day only is $85 for FOA members and $95 for non-FOA members. Spaces are limited. Make reservations beginning May 31, 2016 at 7:00 am by calling (505) 982-7799, ext. 6. Please check back on this website and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation's Friends of Archaeology website for updates.

(NOTE: Those signing up for this field trip should attend Eric Blinman's Brown Bag talk on the Pueblo I culture phase at noon on Tuesday, May 24 or at 7 pm on Thursday evening, May 26 at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology. See www.nmarchaeology.org for details.)
