BONUS Episode: Ancient Pueblo Culture

The Ancient Pueblo Culture existed between AD 100 and 1600 in the area of the United States known as The Four Corners (New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Colorado)

They were also known as the Anasazi, a Navajo word meaning 'Ancient Enemy'. Today the word is more commonly interpreted to mean 'Ancient Ones' or 'Ancient People'. The modern Pueblo tribes include the Zuni, Hopi, Laguna and Acoma.
