Cross section of the Pecos River at Arenosa, looking upriver. The cross section illustrates the position of the site relative to the river level and the estimated stage of the 1954 flood. Cultural layers of the site’s stratigraphy (those containing cultural materials) are shown in black and alluvial layers (those containing sterile flood deposits) are shown in white. Uncorrected radiocarbon ages for several of these layers are shown on the left. Graphic from Patton and Dibble 1982, Fig. 4. |
