The research at Ladle House is an on-going project. Over the next several years, excavations will focus on both the surface rooms and the midden associated with the Pueblo II component. These excavations will yield information concerning all four major research topics: architecture and landscape, family and community, economy and chronology. In addition, future plans for the site include investigations of the earlier Basketmaker III and Pueblo I components. To date, these components have only been minimally tested, and much remains to be learned about them.
