An ancient kiva and ruins of Pueblo Del Arroyo at Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico.
This valley was the center of a thriving culture a thousand years ago. The monumental scale of its architecture, the complexity of its community life, the high level of its community social organization, and its far-reaching commerce created a cultural vision unlike any other seen before or since. The cultural emergence of the Chacoan people began in the mid 800s and lasted more than 300 years.
