The Lowry Pueblo is an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site located in Canyons of the Ancients National Monument near Pleasant View, Colorado, United States. The pueblo was constructed around 1060 AD atop abandoned pithouses from an earlier period of occupation. It was occupied by 40 to 100 people at a time for 165 years.[3] The site is one of the northernmost to be associated with the Puebloan cultures.[4] The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.[2][4]
