Then I found another report that said there were no Gallina people, no archeology report, no artifacts. It was the work of a writer’s overactive imagination.
A year later I was in Aztec, NM (where I lived as a child). I visited the Aztec ruins and asked again about the Gallina People.
The Ranger said they get several inquiries a year about them and to his knowledge, they were no Gallina People.
Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Now we have an article from the National Geographic...So, Is there or isn’t there? And why the claim there isn't.
Sorry, can't answer your question.
Take my word for it. I know Gallina culture artifact materials and I’ve done extensive work in just this area of NM. We located so many of the Gallina pit houses on one proposed seismic easement (1989) that it took all day just to cover 1/4 mile, just for the time needed to record them.
