Halfway House

3D Model

Halfway House is a Chaco Culture Archaeological Protection Site administered by the Bureau of Land Management, Farmington Field Office in New Mexico.

Halfway House sits at the halfway point of the 64-mile long Chaco Great North Road that connects Pueblo Alto near Chaco Canyon with Salmon Ruin on the San Juan River. This isolated structure with an estimated 12 rooms but no apparent kiva has been variously classed as a great house or simple roomblock. It dates from about AD 1000 to 1125, based on associated artifacts. The only other prominent feature of the site is a short, 200-foot long swale on the east alignment of the North Road. The west alignment may avoid the site, with the nearest clearly detectable traces diverging on a more westerly course at Carson Divide, some 2 ½ miles to the south of Halfway, and not resuming until just past Gallegos Crossing, about 2 miles to the north.
