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.

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.

Type of underground chamber used by pueblo people?

It is a ceremonial chamber that can be easily identified as the only ROUND chambers in a Pueblo- they are called Kivas. While they are always entered from the top via a ladder, they are not always underground. They can be built on upper levels of the Pueblo, but they always take the form of a circular pit entered thru a hole in the roof.
