Stone village remains, Mesa Verde National Park, Co

Pueblo buildings were built with stone, windows facing south, and in U, E and L shapes. The buildings were located more closely together and reflected deepening religious celebration. Towers were built near kivas and likely used for lookouts. Pottery became more versatile, including pitchers, ladles, bowls, jars and dishware for food and drink.

Though the inhabitants left no calendar, no written record, each occupation can be fixed in time. A kiva timber from the third village has a tree ring date of 1074 A.D.
