Notes
  • Significance: The pueblitos are small multi-roomed masonry dwellings found in the Navajo homeland, or Dinetah region of northwest New Mexico. Dating from the early 17th century, the pueblitos are significant indicators of the complex social relations that existed among the Navajo, Pueblos, and other tribes with the Spaniards. Boulder Fortress Pueblito is a four-room pueblito located on a detached sandstone talus boulder. On the adjacent mesa bench to the north are the remains of four forked-stick hogans and two large trash middens. The exterior walls of Boulder Fortress are along the outer most edge of the boulder. This maximizes the internal space to the structure and aids in prohibiting intruder access by extending the boulder to nearly 30 feet. Features include the entry doorway with associated foot-and-toe holds carved into the boulder and intact roof beams. The architecture indicates that all of the rooms were built at the same time, about 1728.
