Elk Ridge was the largest pueblo in the northern portion of the Mimbres River Valley of southwestern New Mexico during the Classic Mimbres pueblo period (AD 1000-1130). Recent excavations at this site, combined with survey data, indicate that it was part of a thriving community. With social ties to other nearby pueblos and likely served as the ritual and perhaps economic hub for these smaller pueblos.
