Maljamar Site

LCAS 1957-58

 Sand dune archaeology:
“Pottery shards included Chupadero Black and White, Three Rivers Red Wash, and La Junta Focus (from near Presidio). The presence of a small amount of El Paso Polychrome and the absence of Lincoln Black and Red indicate the site was abandoned about 1300 A.D.” In 1957 and 1958 members of the Lea County Archeological Society carried on excavations  northwest of Maljamar, New Mexico,  west of the Mescalero Escarpment, on the western edge of the Llano Estacado.
