Why did the anasazi build the kivas?
Kivas were religious structures built into the ground with a particular astronomic orientation. Different kivas were used at various times of the year for different ceremonies. (Nearly every Anasazi ruin has at least one kiva present somewhere in the complex.) Each kiva had its own group of participants and it was the job of each member of that kiva to participate fully in their own parts of the ceremony so that the entire ritual could be completed properly.
Why weren't the women of Anasazi allowed into their kivas?
We don't know that. We have no information about who went in the kivas. In modern Pueblo kivas women are allowed as visitors but not to perfom. We knw the kachina religion started at the end of the Anasazi period but we don't know how they used the often much bigger kivas before that. The great kivas seem so lage that they must have had some whole cumminity function. hey also had rooms attached for living in that do not occur now.
What are kivas used for?
the Anasazi men gathered inside the kiva to make laws, to discuss problems, to hold religious ceremonies
What are anasazi religious beliefs?
There is no way to know for sure what beliefs they had. Their direct descendants, the modern Pueblo peoples have a unbroken record of continuity of all physical culture with the Anasazi so it is reasonable to assume that their beliefs have something in common with the Anasazi. However, although their are mainklhy commonalities the Pueblo people are not one culture or language. For example Zuni and Hopi languages have nothing in common. Also, we can see changes in the way kivas and plazas were built and presumably used over time. It appears like this kachina religion arose in around the 13th century.
