Poshuouinge

Poshuouinge (pronounced "poe-shoo-wingay") is a large ancestral Pueblo ruin[1] located on U.S. Route 84, about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of Abiquiu, New Mexico.

[2] Poshuouinge is situated 3 miles (4.8 km) upstream and due west of another Tewa Pueblo ancestral site, Tsama.

It is believed that its inhabitants left the banks of the Chama River and relocated nearby around the Rio Grande, where their descendants live today.

[7] Jean Allard Jeancon and his Tewa workmen unearthed tzii-wi war axes whilst excavating the site in 1919.

[7][8] Jeançon was said "to have interpreted the Poshuouinge shrines in light of ethnographic evidence, arguing that they represented a "world quarter system" similar to that of San Juan Pueblo.
