Abstract
Detailed maps of Puebloan village sites were made photogrammetrically from aerial photos; wall lines and other details were added by field survey. These maps were used to document three successive community center types, dating from late Pueblo II (A.D. 1050-;1150) through Pueblo III (1150-1300). The maps were also analyzed, in conjunction with other relevant survey and excavation data, to define patterns of village layout and architecture in late Pueblo III. These villages represent highly aggregated communities that are buitt on canyon rims and talus; enclose or are close to a good spring; are usually divided into two unequal parts by a drainage or other natural feature; and typically have low walls enclosing the village or a precinct within it. One area of the village usually displays a concentration of public architecture, including a D-shaped multi-walled structure, towers, and a plaza.
