| Reconstructed village layout of Loma Alta, the archeological site believed to be the early historic pueblo of San Juan Evangelista visited by the Espejo entrada in 1582-1583, but unmentioned in later accounts (and presumably abandoned by the late 17th century). Loma Alta was the type site of the Concepcion phase, although it had evidence of at least one La Junta phase structure. Because the village was abandoned in early historic times and never reoccupied, the site layout could be discerned from rectangular and circular mounded depressions, some of which Kelley cleared. He excavated portions of two groups of rectangular houses. Kelley published this map in several places, but never included a legend. CBBS Archives, Sul Ross. |
