Pueblitos

Pueblitos were originally believed to have been built by Puebloan refugees immigrating to Navajo lands following the Pueblo Revolt of A.D. 1680
More recently they have been interpreted as defensive structures and a Navajo response to Ute raiding in the A.D. 1700s.
Tree-ring dating and ceramic analyses have played important roles in changing the perceptions of pueblitos.
