This paper examines the age and ethnicity of the creators of these carvngs.

Individual communities, or poblaciones, were composed of dispersed buildings associated with households (ranchos), and defensive plaza sites that also helped meet Spanish Colonial architectural requirements. This paper examines two Genizaro settlements: the plaza site and ranchos of La Canada on the Rio Chicquito north of the Pueblo de Cochiti and a plaza site and ranchos on the Abiquiu Land Grant. The differences between rancho and plaza architectures reveal the contrasting needs for subsistence and defense of the people on the frontier of New Spain.

Seismic refraction is one such technology that has many potential applications, although it has been under-utilized. It is an inexpensive, efficient way to characterize subsurface deposits, especially at sites in shallow contexts over bedrock. Archaeologists and geophysicists participating in the Summer of Applied Geophysics Experience (SAGE), from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Bandelier National Monument are working together to characterize Ancestral Pueblo (A.D. 1200 to 1600) sites. We present the results from three seismic refraction surveys and provide an overview of how seismic refraction works.
