The rest of Puerco Pueblo

As previously recounted, I detoured through the Petrified Forest National Park. (Map). One of the stops was the ruins of Puerco Pueblo. Here's yet more pictures of the place.

To quote from the plaque:

Puerco Pueblo stood one story high with two to three rows of connected rooms surrounding a central plaza. The village, inhabited from about A.D. 1250 to the late 1300s, housed a number of families. The nearby river provided water that nourished plant and animal life necessary for this pueblo community....


Referring to the map, Puerco Pueblo is right in the middle, on the main park road south of I-40 and the railroad.

( Of course there's pictures here! )
