The stone towers of the Dinetah have long held a fascination for archeologists, and almost a century of research has been devoted to understanding the cultural processes that gave rise to these monuments. For most of that period, construction of the pueblitos was attributed to Pueblo refugees who fled to the Navajos when the Spanish reconquered New Mexico in the closing years of the seventeenth century. Only in the last few decades have we come to recognize that these strongholds were built for defense against Ute and Comanche raiders. What has not changed is the long-standing perception that eighteenth-century Navajo culture was fundamentally altered by a massive influx of Pueblo refugees. This document provides a review of the archeological and historical evidence supporting this interpretation of the Gobernador Phase as a period of intensive Navajo-Pueblo interaction. Based on that review, it is suggested that scholars have greatly overestimated both the number of Pueblo refugees who joined the Navajos and the influence of those refugees on Navajo culture.
