The #RioChama is a major tributary of the Rio Grande in Northern #NewMexico. Beginning around 1350 CE (the Classic Period) it experienced major population growth and saw the growth of large nucleated villages of 1000+ rooms. Much of this growth was from immigration. These villages were ancestral to the modern Tewa peoples.
The village of Poshu'ouinge is pictured.

@inti Is that circle in the l-shaped lidar portion a well of some kind, or a kiva? Im wondering because of the green swathe in the l-shaped sat picture. As always, I want to go and explore on the ground!
@agterrane this site is pretty easy to visit. It’s on Forest Service land just off a highway.
