El Quartelejo Ruins, Archaeological site in Scott City, Kansas.
The remains consist of a seven-room stone structure with plastered walls located near natural springs within Lake Scott State Park.
Plains Apache inhabited the site between 1450 and 1650, followed by Taos and Picuris Puebloans who fled Spanish control from New Mexico.
Archaeological excavations revealed stone tools, animal bones, ceramics, and evidence of agricultural practices through irrigation systems near the springs.
The site includes interpretative markers and stands within Lake Scott State Park, managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.
These ruins represent the northernmost Native American pueblo structure and the only known pueblo archaeological site in Kansas.
