Arroyo Hondo Preserve contains a 1000 room Pueblo village that had two occupation periods in the 14th and early 15th centuries. The village is located about 5 miles north of Santa Fe on the western edge of Arroyo Hondo near a permanent spring. The site was extensively investigated by the School of American Research in the 1970’s where they discovered many interesting aspects of the ritual and daily life. The 20-acre preserve was transferred by the School of American Research to The Archaeological Conservancy in 2003. Join us on this tour with April Brown, Southwest Regional Director and Archaeologist Tamara Stewart, Southwest Projects Director from The Archaeological Conservancy.
