Pueblo II Period (1 Jan 900 Jahr – 1 Jan 1150 Jahr)
Beschreibung:
In contrast to previous communities, those of the late Pueblo II period consisted primarily of small farms loosely clustered around a larger site called a "community center." Community centers had large public buildings which could be used for community-wide ceremonies and meetings; some may also have served as storage facilities and distribution points for residents to share food and other goods. One type of public building–the great kiva–was already well known to the Mesa Verde people.Moreover, during the Pueblo II period, a new form of public architecture, called a "great house," made its first appearance. Building great houses in the Mesa Verde region was part of a broader cultural development associated with New Mexico's Chaco Canyon, as described below.
