Tyuonyi Ruin

Bandelier NM, New Mexico

Once a large pueblo, Tyuonyi was 3 stories high in places, had about 400 rooms and was home for probably 100 people.
Although the rooms were small, the people were about the size of modern Pueblo Indians, adults averaging 5'5" tall.
Since they had very little in furnishings, room space was adequate.
The number of rooms each family had apparently depended on its size and needs.
Inner rooms, being very poorly ventilated, likely served for storage, with entrance through roof hatchways or doorways in walls.
