About Chaco Canyon: From AD 850 to 1250, Chaco was a hub of ceremony, trade, and
administration for the prehistoric Four Corners area--unlike anything
before or since. Chaco is remarkable for its multi-storied public
buildings, ceremonial buildings, and distinctive architecture. These
structures required considerable planning, designing, organizing of
labor, and engineering to construct. The Chacoan people combined many
elements: pre-planned architectural designs, astronomical alignments,
geometry, landscaping, and engineering to create an ancient urban center
of spectacular public architecture--one that still awes and inspires us
a thousand years later. |
