Lowry Pueblo

The Lowry Pueblo is an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site located in Canyons of the Ancients National Monument near Pleasant View, Colorado, United States.

The pueblo was constructed around 1060 AD atop abandoned pithouses from an earlier period of occupation.

It is believed to have begun as a relative small community with just a few rooms, but is unusual for the presence of a great kiva, suggesting it served as a communal center for a scattered population before the settlement around it got larger.

[4] The inhabitants were farmers who also hunted small game, made elaborately decorated pottery, and wove cotton obtained by trade.

[5] In 1965, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which owned the property, undertook a two-year project with the University of Colorado to stabilize the ruins, which had become partially buried.
