The Pueblo I Time Period
700 AD - 900 AD
The puebloans began using above-ground dwellings called pueblos.
These buildings were built to hold many people and several families.
The buildings were circled around pit houses. The pit houses were now used as social, religious, and educational centers known as kivas. Domestic
cotton was introduced from Mexico and used for blankets, clothing, furs and feathers.
In this time period, pottery drastically improved and developed.
During this time period, the Anasazi Indians expanded their territory
into central Utah and into Mexico. Cotton and corn were grown and pottery
became a major art. The Anasazi also used underground Kivas for culture
and religious centers.
