The pueblo ancestral ruins have undergone two renovations. One was done in 1959 and a second reconstruction in the early 2000s. Photo by Sharon Snyder By SHARON SNYDER Los Alamos Historical Society I’ve walked past the Ancestral Puebloan site in our historic district often since I moved back to Los Alamos in 2014, and I’ve sometimes wondered why I never noticed it when I was growing up here in the late 1950s and 1960s. Then, while doing research in our archives one afternoon, I noticed a story and photograph on the front page of the LASL Community News of Aug. 13, 1959. The picture showed that the pueblo remnants were behind a chain link fence and obscured by overgrown weeds and tall grasses.
