The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The historical Village of La Cienega is surrounded by multiple springs and the spring brooks they feed, where, due to the geology, the aquifer rises to the surface. For many centuries these springs have been used for agriculture and as a source of water for the settlement of a historical pueblo of the Keres people. The former La Cienega Pueblo site contains archaeological evidence of "probable water catchment features" as well as petroglyphs on the basalt cliffs, and ruins of prehistoric room blocks at the site of the historic La Cienega Pithouse Village that are believed, by archaeologists, to be used for both ceremonial and domestic purposes.
