Albert Porter Pueblo

Chaco style masonry at Albert PorterAlbert Porter Pueblo is an ancient Pueblo Indian site in southwestern Colorado. The Crow Canyon Archaeological Center conducted excavations at Albert Porter Pueblo from 2001 through 2004. Preliminary results of pottery analyses indicate that the site was inhabited as early as the Basketmaker III period (A.D. 500–750), but that the most intensive occupation dates from the Pueblo II (A.D. 900–1150) and Pueblo III (A.D. 1150–1300) periods. The remains of a Chaco-era great house and the presence of both Pueblo II and Pueblo III pottery on the modern ground surface indicate that the site reached its maximum extent sometime between A.D. 1100 and 1250.
