Model of the Great Classic Pueblo Period, Chapin
Model depicting the Great Classic Pueblo Period, 1100-1300 AD, when people moved from small, compact villages on the mesa tops to alcoves where they built cliff dwellings like Spruce Tree House, shown here in the late 13th century, in the Chapin Mesa Archeological Museum, in Mesa Verde National Park, Montezuma County, Colorado, USA. Mesa Verde is the largest archaeological site in America, with Native Americans inhabiting the area from 7500 BC to 13th century AD. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
