Ancient Settlement in Montezuma County, Colorado. Lowry Pueblo was of a medium size for the era (latest occupation - 1200's) with 40 rooms and multiple kivas. The site was excavated in the 1930's and revisited in the 1960's and stabilized for viewing. The remains of a painted plaster wall can be viewed under a modern protective roof.

The site was built over a much earlier settlement (a grouping of pit houses.)
Lowry Pueblo is a National Historic Landmark and is one of only three excavated and "presented" sites within the Canyon of the Ancients Monument.

Two in Colorado plead guilty to theft of artifacts by bat400 on Saturday, 05 December 2009
(User Info | Send a Message)
A Cortez man and a woman from CaƱon City have pleaded guilty to illegally collecting archaeological artifacts in Canyon of the Ancients National Monument west of Cortez.
Preston Waggoner and Dawn Laate were banned from entering the national monument for a year and each fined $2,500.

All but $500 of their fines will be suspended if they comply with the order and write a letter of apology to educate the public about the importance of leaving artifacts where they're found. Each has written the required letter, she on Nov. 18, he on Nov. 27.

The Bureau of Land Management, which manages Canyon of the Ancients, was notified Aug. 18 that two people were picking up artifacts on BLM land adjacent to Lowry Pueblo, a complex with standing walls and more than 40 rooms.
A BLM ranger, who found Waggoner and Laate with numerous artifacts that they had picked up from the ground, confiscated the pieces for evidence. They were cited for misdemeanors and ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in Durango, where they pleaded guilty to violating the Archaeological Resource Protection Act.

They were sentenced Nov. 10.

Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, part of the BLM's National Landscape Conservation System, contains 6,000 recorded archaeological sites representing ancestral Puebloan, Native American and Anglo cultures.
