Shumway Pueblo Ruin is a large Ancestral Puebloan settlement in east-central Arizona occupied during the14th century C.E. The settlement was one of six villages in the Silver Creek drainage established during a phase of community reorganization throughout the Southwest. The plan of the village was composed of several room blocks builaround two major plazas and a smaller plaza. Shumway was one of the latest occupied Pueblo villages in the region and was a source of iconographic-style red ware pottery. During the peak of occupation the pueblo could have had up to 350 to 400 masonry rooms, including second story rooms. (See also Fourmile Pueblo on this web site.)
