>century Spanish colonial settlement at Pojoaque Pueblo were bulldozed
>recently as part of a road-widening project. The settlement was partially
>excavated in 1959 but the work was never published. Other sites along the
>highway date to the 1100s and include pithouses, the semi-subterranean
>homes of prehistoric families. There are also remains of a Spanish colonial
>village established sometime after 1692 and a rancho, built around 1820.
(BTW - in New Mexico, the Spanish Colonial period goes all the way to 1850.
