Ancient Settlement in Sandoval County, New Mexico.
The Gallina Culture of the Ancestral Puebloans is characterized by round stone towers and thick-walled, individual room buildings, as well as their black and white pottery. The Gallina appear to have been eliminated from north west New Mexico around 1275 AD. From their burned settlement sites and the brutalized remains they have been described as "isolated, defensive, and violent."
There are several sites (tower foundations, buildings and pit house remains) near Jemez Springs on US Forest Service properties. The location given is approximate.
Note: Remains point to arson and murder in a time of ancient drought.
