Frances Canyon Ruin

The Frances Canyon Ruin is a Navajo pueblito near Blanco in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States.

1716,[1] it reflects economic and social changes taking place among the Navajo of this area during the 18th century.

In the previous century the Spanish introduced sheep, fruit, cattle, and horses into the area.

This site can be contrasted with modern Navajo communities which consist of clusters of hogans, widely dispersed with a trade system based on scattered trading posts and the motor vehicle.
