Pottery Mound, Archaeological site near Los Lunas, New Mexico.
Located along the Rio Puerco, the site contains remains of an adobe pueblo with multiple kivas and extensive pottery fragments scattered across the surface.
Between 1350 and 1500, the settlement flourished as a central point for pottery production and ceremonial activities in the Rio Grande Valley region.
The seventeen kivas discovered at the site contain numerous wall murals depicting people, deities, animals, and natural elements of Puebloan significance.
The Maxwell Museum of Anthropology preserves and maintains the artifacts recovered from the extensive excavations conducted between 1954 and the 1980s.
The site contains the largest collection of prehistoric kiva murals in North America, with representations found in eleven separate ceremonial chambers.
