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.
