The Puerto Pueblo



In the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park is Puerto Pueblo, an ancestral Puebloan village.  It was occupied 1250-1380 CE (whatever that means)


The remains of the kiva.


Foundations.



This is hard to see, but there are petroglyphs on the underside of the rock. Remember, you can click on the picture to see it larger.



More petroglyphs.


The foundation of the Pueblo.


This is what the Pueblo looked like several thousand years ago.


Matt goofing off at the bathrooms.





More petroglyphs.


Sorry for the poor quality, the rocks were quite a ways away.


The glyphs are at a distance to protect them so there are eyeglass things to take a closer look.
