The Lowry Pueblo is an Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site located in Canyons of the Ancients National Monument near Pleasant View, Colorado. The pueblo was constructed about 1060 atop abandoned pithouses from an earlier period of occupation. The inhabitants were farmers who also hunted small game, made elaborately decorated pottery, and wove cotton obtained by trade. The pueblo was named for early homesteader George Lowry.
Lowry Pueblo was excavated during summer field seasons from 1930 to 1936 by Paul S. Martin of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on July 19th, 1964.
