The Anasazi disappeared from Chaco Canyon and related dwellings (e.g., Canyon de Chelly and Mesa Verde) about 1200 AD.  They probably were forced to leave the area because of severe droughts that occurred in the region beginning in about 1129 AD.  The Pueblo Indians are their descendants.  In the last stages of living in these places, they practiced cannibalism.  

Description


Chaco Culture National Historical Park

Chaco Culture National Historical Park is a United States National Historical Park hosting the densest and most exceptional concentration of pueblos in the American Southwest. The park is located in northwestern New Mexico, between Albuquerque and Farmington, in a remote canyon cut by the Chaco Wash. Containing the most sweeping collection of ancient ruins north of Mexico, the park preserves one of the United States' most important pre-Columbian cultural and historical areas.
