June 2000 The Coronado State Monument is the home to ancient Indian ruins of Kuaua. Kuaua, a Tiwa word for "evergreen," was first settled around AD 1300 by American Indians who had long known about the fertile land near the Rio Grande. It is believed to be the northernmost village of the Tiguex Province. During the late 1930's, archaeologists unearthed approximately 1200 rooms of the village. There are many more rooms which remain unexcavated. These walls are not the original but were constructed in the 1940's to give an idea of the extent of the ancient pueblo. |
