The Tsama Pueblo is a Tewa Pueblo ancestral site in an address-restricted area of Abiquiú, New Mexico. It was occupied from around 1250 until around 1500 and contained 1100 rooms.[2] The site and others in the area were explored by Florence Hawley Ellis in the 1960s and 1970s.[3] In 1983, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico.[4] Tsama is located 3 miles (4.8 km) from the Poshuouinge site.[5] The Sapawe site is closely related.[6] In December 2008, The Archaeological Conservancy extended the Tsama Archaeological Preserve by 11.6523 acres, mostly cobble mulch garden plots which were likely once constructed by the residents of Tsama Pueblo.[7]
