Los Alamos, NM 87544
June 25, 2009
Cave dwellings carved into the cliffs in the Los Alamos area north of Santa Fe provided many opportunities to photograph the archeological remnants of Native American culture. It is said that the Pueblo people came into the area over 10,000 years ago.
The park is a pleasant area with shaded paved walks and many opportunities to climb into the dwellings in which the people lived in the hand-carved caves. It was amazing to see the way that people lived in the safety of the caves and the technology they used.
The beehive shaped clay structure is a common sight in parts of the west. The clay oven, used for centuries, can still be found in front or rear yards and is a practical solution for cooking in a warm climate.
