    • Abstract:
      Most of the archaeological collection from Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) was curated at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico. As was typical of archaeological repositories in the mid- to late twentieth century, the collection was stored in a warehouse, using non-archival materials, with minimal curation records. Beginning in 2004, a massive volunteer effort led to the complete reorganization of the Tijeras Pueblo collection. This effort has resulted in renewed research on Tijeras Pueblo and other public benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

      La mayor parte de la colección arqueológica de Tijeras Pueblo (LA 581) fue conservada en el Museo de Antropología Maxwell de la Universidad de Nuevo México. Como era típico de los repositorios arqueológicos de mediados a finales del siglo XX, la colección se alejó en un almacén, sin usar materiales de archivo, con un mínimo de registros de conservación. A partir de 2004, un esfuerzo voluntario masivo llevó a la reorganización completa de la colección de Tijeras Pueblo. Este esfuerzo ha resultado en una investigación renovada sobre Tijeras Pueblo y otros beneficios públicos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
