#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar 20 - my 17th post on #ChacoanBeltRoads.
Most known examples of belt roads in the American southwest are from the northern San Juan and seem to be associated with chacoan period sites. As noted, race tracks in other areas are linear. There are very few examples from elsewhere. Here are two from the later (post-1300 CE) sites of Tovakwa and Totaskwina in the #Jemez mountains of central #NewMexico.

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar - 16th in a series, and my 13th post on #ChacoanBeltRoads.
Like the last one, this belt road is on #UteMountainUte tribal lands in #Colorado. This one is a little unusual because while it is located in the center of a large cluster of smaller sites, there is no single large site directly associated with the feature itself.
Second observation: these are probably not "roads" in any utilitarian sense.

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar - 15th in a series, and my 12th post on #ChacoanBeltRoads.
This belt road is on #UteMountainUte tribal lands and as as far as I know has never been documented.
We're approaching the end of this series, so perhaps now it is time to ask the question - what are these things? The first observation we can make is that they are not pan-Chacoan. No belt roads have been found on sites in #ChacoCanyon itself.

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar - 14th in a series, and my 11th post on #ChacoanBeltRoads.
This belt road is also on #MesaVerde in #Colorado but not on the National Park. It is on #UteMountainUte tribal lands. Note the road leading to the southeast from the architectural block at the center of the loop. The loop is mostly in pinyon/juniper woodland and is not visible at all in aerial imagery.

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar - 7th in a series, and my fourth post on #ChacoanBeltRoads. This is the Holmes Group in the La Plata valley of northwestern #NewMexico. This is the clearest and most perfectly round belt road I've seen. That's probably why this is the first #chacoan site at which a belt road was documented (see link below).

#archaeology #landscape #visualization from #lidar - fifth in a series, and my second post on #ChacoanBeltRoads. This is Lowry Pueblo, a #NationalHistoricLandmark in SW #Colorado. In this case most of the community roomblocks are located at the northern edge of the loop.
