74. Chaco Canyon, overview
Anasazi agriculture remained in “transitional” phase for a
long time, due to harsh climate
pit houses were built first, and returned to as needed.
more resource-intensive buildings appeared when times
were good
pit houses dated to 1150, 1220 and 1310: not a uniform
progression from simpler to more complex structures
75. pit houses
examples
Jomon (prehistoric Japan) has examples of these
digging pits to survive in Siberia
Little House on the Prairie
advantages
quick to construct
well-insulated (warm/cool even with extreme exterior
temperatures)
for the Anasazi, they also had a symbolic significance, as
they believed they emerged directly from the earth mother
76. deforestation of Chaco Canyon
each room required 40 beams
for a total of 250,000 beams to build the pueblos in Chaco
Canyon
piñon and juniper had twisted trunks and limbs
ponderosa and Douglass fir cut down to a diameter of 50
miles around Chaco Canyon
