Long House, Mesa Verde Colorado

Mesa Verde has some magnificient well preserved pueblos. A severe drought from 1130 to 1180 led to rapid depopulation in many parts of the San Juan Basin, particularly at Chaco Canyon. As the extensive Chacoan system collapsed, people increasingly migrated to Mesa Verde, causing major population growth in the area. This led to much larger settlements of six to eight hundred people, which reduced mobility for Mesa Verdeans, who had in the past frequently relocated their dwellings and fields as part of their agriculture strategy. In order to sustain these larger populations, they dedicated more and more of their labor to farming. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_Verde_National_Park https://www.nps.gov/meve/index.htm This model does not include the back rooms but instead shows more of the outside of the surrounding bluff instead.
