The Plaza
Life for prehistoric peoples was lived mainly out of doors.
The area in front of you -- the only relatively flat site on the ridge top -- - was probably a community gathering place. Residents made their household goods, pottery and ornaments here and traders displayed their goods for barter. Plazas provided space for dancing, playing games of skill or chance, or exchanging the latest news. Festivals with neighboring pueblos or religious ceremonies might have taken place, also. |
