Function
The pueblo was built into the sides of a cliff, housed about one hundred people
Clans moved together for mutual support and defense
Context
Farming done on the plateau above the pueblo; everything has to be imported into the structure; water seeped through the sandstone and collected in trenches near the rear of the structure
Low winter sun penetrated the pueblo; high summer sun did not enter the interior and therefore it stayed relatively cool
Inhabited for two hundred years; probably abandoned when the water source dried up.
