The Ancestral Pueblo people created an impressive urban center in the Mesa Verde cliffs in the four corners area of Colorado which contained multi-storied public and ceremonial buildings. They employed unique masonry techniques that allowed several of these buildings to be extremely large even by today’s standards. They also constructed roads, employed astronomical alignments, landscaping and geometrical designs in their development. The amazing accomplishments of this culture are an integral part of the traditions and history of the Pueblo and Navajo legacies. The Anazazi culture presided over most of the Four Corners area from approximately AD 1000-1300.
Famous for the distinctive pottery mugs like this example, they have a close association with the Mayan people and were used to drink cacao or chocolate.
Not found on Federal or State Land.
