At the end of our short season we all went to Pecos Pueblo. This shows the kind of adobe walls with stone foundations that we were looking for at LA20k.

We have just put out the first of two grids for shallow geophysical survey.  It is not very wide, but at the end there is one possible wall with basalt footings.

This week members of the Fiske Center staff are at a site outside Santa Fe, New Mexico called LA 20,000. Here, Heather and John are looking at a partially eroded basalt wall base. So far, we’ve been mapping and relocating old excavation units. Tomorrow we start with geophysics. And it’s snowing!
