Arroyo Hondo Pueblo was a
pueblo in the upper
Rio Grande valley ,
New Mexico . First occupied in the 13th century, the complex grew rapidly, and at its peak in the 14th century contained up to a thousand rooms; it has been called a "pueblo boomtown".
[2] However, it was short-lived, and the site was abandoned by about 1425.
[3]
The pueblo has been the subject of a major
archaeological research project since the 1970s, directed by
Douglas W. Schwartz .
[4] It was listed in the United States
National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
