UNTIL very recently, the most perplexing mystery of Southwestern archeology -- what caused the collapse of the ancient empire of the Anasazi -- seemed all but solved. Careful scrutiny of tree-ring records seemed to establish that in the late 1200's a prolonged dry spell called the Great Drought drove these people, the ancestors of today's pueblo Indians, to abandon their magnificent stone villages at Mesa Verde and elsewhere on the Colorado Plateau, never to return again.

Volume 50 Number 5, September/October 1997 by AmÉlie A. Walker Human remains found at a twelfth-century A.D. site near Cowboy Wash in southwestern Colorado provide further evidence of cannibalism among the Anasazi (see "A Case for Cannibalism," ARCHAEOLOGY, January/February 1994). The remains of 12 people were discovered at the site, designated 5MT10010, but only five were from burials. The other seven appear to have been systematically dismembered, defleshed, their bones battered, and in some cases burned or stewed, leaving them in the same condition as bones of animals used for food. Cut marks, fr Read More Go to Site Anasazi: The Ancient Ones - Manitou Cliff Dwellings Votes:0 ANASAZI: THE ANCIENT ONES The word "Anasazi" (ah-nuh-SAH-zee) is used to describe a distinctive American Indian civilization and culture that existed from about 1200 B.C. to A.D. 1300 in the Four Corners Area of Southwestern United States. See Southwest Culture Map . These people are probably best known for the ruins of their monumental cliff dwellings at places like Mesa Verde , which they abandoned at the end of the 13th century. But that's a small part of their story. The structures at the Manitou Cliff Dwellings are authentic Anasazi cliff dwellings faithfully reconstructed and preserved so that generations can witness and experience something of this impressive people.

Spruce House You are now entering an area that has changed very little in 700-800 years. To the prehistoric inhabitants, a people we call the Anasazi, the canyons provided food, shelter and other materials for daily survival. Some of the most important plants to the people of Spruce Tree House are located just down the trail. Please walk the 50 feet (16 meters) to the bench and boulders, and STOP and LOOK at the plants near the bend in the trail. 1 From this point you have a commanding view of the canyon area. Notice the abundance of vegetation and think about how you would use these plants.

The Anasazi were a Native American people who lived in the Colorado plateau region of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico from about 100 C.E. Descendants of the Anasazi culture include the present-day Pueblo peoples of Arizona. Anasazi culture included an Basket Maker phase and a Pueblo phase; it was during this latter phase that the Anasazi constructed the cliff dwellings and crafts for which they remain famous. Evidence of their adobe and rock architecture still remains in varying degrees of preservation across Colorado Plateau wildernesses.

The model, which contains over 1,000 objects, mostly in the roofing, was created using Metacreations Infini-D on a Mac platform and took about three years of very sporadic work to assemble.
