Anasazi is the name given to the prehistoric

people who inhabited the Four Corners area of what

is now southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona,

southwestern Colorado, and northwestern New Mexico

for a 2,000-year period from about 700 B.C . to the

arrival of the Spanish in the Southwest in the 1500's.  

The Anasazi were the ancestors of the modern-day

Pueblo people of the southwestern United States.

    Five cultural signatures enable archaeologists

to determine what is Anasazi.  First is the kiva---a

generally circular, underground structure used for

gatherings of kin groups.  The kiva belongs to the

Anasazi and is not found anywhere else.  Second

is the unit pueblo.  This building unit, made up of a

room block of two to twelve rooms and a plaza or

workplace containing a kiva, formed a modular unit of

standardized design that was multiplied to form larger

settlements---whether in the cliffs or in the open.

    The third cultural signature is the orientation of

kivas and unit pueblos facing toward the south and

southeast.  The fourth is the characteristic Anasazi

gray-and-white pottery and the utility pottery with a

corrugated exterior.  The Anasazi fired the pottery

in a nonoxidizing atmosphere (a fire smothered to

reduce available oxygen), producing the gray-and-

white-colored ceramics.  Many Anasazi pots were

decorated with black paint, producing the distinctive

black-on-white pottery style.

    Fifth, the Anasazi in all areas followed a

characteristic pattern of burials.  The bodies were

buried lying on the side with legs flexed against the

chest and heads oriented directionally --- often toward

the east ---or parallel to the slope if the grave was on

steep terrain.

    These five characteristics are peculiarly

Anasazi and were not shared by the other

neighboring cultures.  By matching these hallmarks

to the discovered ruins, it has been possible to

delineate prehistoric Anasaziland for some 2,000

years.  A chronological framework has divided

the history of the Anasazi into three Basket Maker

stages and six Pueblo stages.
