Description
Fine art architectural landscape photograph of Pueblo Bonito, a prehistoric Anasazi ruin in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The curved wall of a kiva, one of 32 in Pueblo Bonito, fills the foreground. The massive walls of the Great House, once reaching 4 stories in the back, rise to meet the sandstone cliff at its back.
Pueblo Bonito is the largest of several Chacoan Great Houses in the canyon. Though there were more than 350 ground floor rooms, and an estimated 800 rooms total, it is now believed that it served as a ceremonial center rather than a residential apartment building. Construction of this huge masonry structure began around 828 A.D. and spanned 300 years.
