Pre-Colonial Pueblo Archeology | Unshagi Village | Ancient Ruins in Jemez, NM | Short Documentary

In the heart of the Jemez Forest, ruins of an ancient village lay slumbering beneath the soil. Archaeological excavation took place here nearly 100 years ago. Standing atop the site today, the ruins leave a footprint of roomblock mounds and kiva depressions, covered in grass, cactus, and trees. Artifacts scatter the surface, providing us insight into daily village life prior to the Spanish colonial period. Join me today as we explore the history of Unshagi Pueblo.
