These people lived pretty well, considering the time. There are more 'corn grinders' recovered here than there were people in residence. They had a well organized society. Farmers, hunters, administrators. They wore cotton clothing and skins.
The modern day Zuni claim they were moving North on a purpose and claim some lineage to them. Some claim they moved South to Central America. We have a pretty good track on them for about 2000 years, then they went away.
They traded far and wide. Their pottery is quite distinctive and shows up in a huge circle that includes the Baja and California. They spun and wove cotton. Their arrow points are so fine they are almost delicate.
My next post will be a related and concurrent site. Same people, very different environment. I just love a good mystery...
I can never fathom why people find history boring, this stuff is ultra-fascinating to me. Damn you though, you've added another place I need to go. You're a bad man. But still legit.
The good news for you? There are just astounding sites all over the South West, so you won't have to travel all that distance just for one 😄
I'm with you. I'm just fascinated by history and trying to match what I see with what I feel.
One day huh? I know I've said that before, but I really mean it.
