This issue of Archaeology Southwest Magazine presents the results of a collaborative project among anthropological researchers; research teams from Acoma, Hopi, Laguna, and Zuni; and regional land managers.

The editors of this issue summarize their work with these four Western Pueblos. The issue begins with a brief overview of the archaeology of the Largo Creek-Carrizo Wash watershed of west-central New Mexico in order to provide the context of the research. It continues with a recap of what each of the Pueblo research teams considers to be important and wishes to share with the public about the land, culture, and history of the region. Tribal efforts to protect the area and key issues in the management of heritage resources going forward are described.
