Casamero Pueblo

About five miles north of I-40 at Prewitt (Exit 63) on McKinley County Road 19.
There is a trail up to the pueblo and there are signs in the ruins.
There was no trail guide booklet when I was there.

Mr. Utter:
Nice selection of pictures of Casamero Pueblo ruins.

Some of the masonry looks like late McElmo - good example of Chacoan-style work.

Do you know how the 1050-1100 occupation dates were arrived at, and if there has been any dendrochronological (tree-ring) dating of the site?

Thanks.
