Early ceramics place the date of Vallecitos Pueblo to the early part of the area’s history, around 1250 to 1350. It is located three and a half miles northeast of Jemez Pueblo within the boundaries of the reservation. It is one of the villages found at the lower elevations of the Jemez Province and contains the type locality of Vallecitos Black-on-White which is believed to be a precursor to Jemez Black-on-White. The tour will go through two ancient villages, one of which is Vallecitos Pueblo and another village nearby to the east (LA 248 and 258). Following the tour and lunch, Marlon Magdalena, Instructional Coordinator for Jemez Historic Site, will give a presentation on Warfare and Conflict in Pueblo Country, at the Walatowa Visitor Center for Jemez Pueblo, which also has a small museum.
