Tsirege, Archaeological site near White Rock, United States.
The archaeological site contains 800 rooms with ten kivas, a defensive wall, a reservoir, and numerous petroglyph panels carved into rock surfaces.
The settlement was continuously inhabited from 1325 to 1600, representing a significant period of Ancestral Puebloan occupation in the region.
The name Tsirege translates to 'bird place' in the Tewa language, reflecting the deep connection between indigenous peoples and their natural environment.
Located on Los Alamos National Laboratory property, the site requires special permission for visits, with public tours occurring approximately twice per decade.
The rock art panels display images of Awanyu, a horned water serpent deity central to Puebloan spiritual beliefs and water management practices.
