Lowry Pueblo

[rginn]

This is probably the farthest north settlement of the Ancestral Pueblans. It was built around 1060 AD and maybe a 100 people lived here. It was built on top of the remains of some earlier pit houses. Theirs a roof on top to protect the walls from erosion. If you look close you can see some Chacoan influence. The most impressive thing is the big kiva. I came up from one side and recognized those as figures laid out in stone. Then I saw their sign, thought well duh, nobody spotted that before? Due to that sort of kiva, this was probably a big gathering place for people from outlying settlements.

Looks like a fascinating place. I stopped by this place once. Pretty nice little museum there also.
