This is a list of Ancestral Puebloan dwellings in Colorado, United States. == Pueblo periods == Archaeologists have agreed on three main periods of occupation by Pueblo peoples in southwestern Colorado: Pueblo I, Pueblo II, and Pueblo III.〔Rohn, Arthur H.; Ferguson, William M. Puebloan ruins of the Southwest. University of New Mexico Press, 2006. pp. 43. ISBN 0-8263-3969-7.〕 * Pueblo I (750 to 900). Pueblo buildings were built with stone, generally oriented to the south, and in U, E and L shapes. The buildings were located more closely together than the previous Basketmaker period and reflected deepening religious celebration. Towers were built, often near kivas, though their purpose (defense?, storage?, ceremonies?) still is debated. Pottery became more versatile, not just for cooking, but now included pitchers, ladles, bowls, jars and dishware for food and drink. White pottery with black designs emerged, the pigments coming from plants. Water management and conservation techniques, including the use of reservoirs and silt-retaining dams, also emerged during this period.〔 Midway through this period, about 900, the number of residential sites in the Hovenweep area increased.〔(''History & Culture''. ) National Park Service. Retrieved 9-20-2011.〕 * Pueblo II (900-1150). During the Pueblo II period there was an increase in population that resulted in creation of more than 10,000 sites in 250 years. Because much of the land is arid, and crop yields were highly variable, people supplemented their diets by hunting, foraging and trading for food.〔Stuart, Moczygemba-McKinsey, pp. 56-57.〕 By the end of the period, there were multiple-story dwellings made primarily of stone masonry, towers (especially in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah), and family and community kivas.〔Wenger, Gilbert R.

National Park Service. May 19, 2008. Retrieved 10-9-2011.〕 * Pueblo III (1150-1300). Rohn and Ferguson, authors of ''Puebloan Ruins of the Southwest,'' state that during the Pueblo III period there was a significant community change. Population tended to coalesce into larger community centers at canyon heads or under cliff overhangs. Population peaked between 1200 to 1250 to more than 20,000 in the Mesa Verde region.〔(''Pueblo III - Overview.'' ) Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. 2011. Retrieved 9-27-2011.〕 However, by 1300 most Pueblo people had abandoned the Four Corners area, as the result of climate changes and food shortages. They are believed to have moved south and east to villages in Arizona and New Mexico, especially the Rio Grande valley near what is today Santa Fe and Albuquerque.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Ancestral Puebloan dwellings in Colorado」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
