Mesa Verde National Monument in Colorado

Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde. The Puebloans constructed these cliff dwelling about 1,400 years ago out of stone, mud, timber and water. They used sharpened stones for cutting and chopping; bones for digging, scraping, sewing and weaving. The group of people on the right in the picture gives a prospective of size of this particular dwelling. We walked through this ancient village to better appreciate the life of the ancient Puebloan.
