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.[ 5] [ 6]
