Notes: Cultural Resource Series No. 2.  See also Pueblitos, Navajo Refugee sites.  48 sites in northwestern New Mexico, and found nowhere else in the state.  Unfortunately, at the time this volume was written a large number of the sites were in decay and in need of restoration.  These weren’t built for long-term habitation, just kind of mini-fortresses.  NM BLM has now restored more than 2 dozen of these sites, most in the Largo-Gobernador area of northwest New Mexico, and with the installation of interpretive signage has reduced vandalism.
