Humans have lived on the Mescalero Plain for over 10,000 years. The traditional view of past Native American societies inhabiting the plains is one of the ancient hunters and gatherers moving across the landscape according to the seasons or the more recent arrival of horse-mounted groups after Europeans introduced horses to the region in the 1600s. This publication presents a new side to the story of the Mescalero Plain. Sometime around 600 years ago, a pueblo was built on a small ridge in what is now southeastern New Mexico. The site is called The Merchant Site.Description:
