Guadalupe Outlier

Guadalupe Outlier is an Ancestral Puebloan site in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, in New Mexico, United States.The site is described by author Stephen H. Lekson as "sitting atop the second-most spectacular setting of any outlier, a narrow high mesa overlooking the Puerco River, about 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Chaco".[1] Guadalupe Outlier is the easternmost of the Chacoan ruins and was occupied from roughly 960 to 1300 AD.[2] By the late thirteenth century it had been "remodeled and occupied by a Mesa Verde population".[2] The site underwent extensive archaeological study in the 1970s.[2]
