Pot Creek Cultural Site, Archaeological pueblo ruins in Taos County, United States.

Pot Creek Cultural Site is an archaeological ruin in northern New Mexico where the remains of a multi-story pueblo settlement, including adobe structures, storage rooms, and ceremonial spaces arranged around a central plaza, can still be seen. A marked trail runs through the site and leads to a reconstructed pueblo room that shows how the spaces were once used.

Pot Creek was occupied at its height between 1260 and 1320 CE, when it was a large adobe pueblo of about 400 ground-floor storage rooms plus multi-storey dwellings, with a peak population around 1310. Around 1318 a great kiva was under construction but never finished. The pueblo was abandoned about 1320, when fire destroyed its southern portion, and residents moved to Picuris and Taos Pueblos.

The pottery found at the site includes gray cooking vessels and black-on-white decorated pieces that show how daily life and craft skills were woven together in this community. These ceramics are seen as a direct link to the Pueblo communities still living in the region today.

The site is on Carson National Forest land and is reached by a marked interpretive trail that provides information along the way. The ground is uneven and there is little shade, so sturdy footwear and water are worth bringing.

A large ceremonial structure started in 1318 was never finished, showing that the community left while building work was still underway. This unfinished construction is one of the few visible signs of what life here looked like in its final years.
