The Pueblo II Time Period
900 AD - 1100 AD
During this time period, the puebloan culture began to evolve
into a higher civilization. They lived in larger dwellings that could hold
many more people than the original pueblo. Some tribes including the
Anasazi, built their large villages in the side of cliffs. This was so they
could have easy access to the river below, and the lumber and food above them. It
also gave them easy defense from neighboring tribes. Although some have decayed,
many puebloan villages and plazas are still standing throughout the Southwest.
