Anasazi Indians

Archaeologists believe that Anasazi women spent many hours every day doing tasks essential to food preparation. This included grinding corn and other grains and preparing wild game.

I bet its because Teepees are made out of fabric; Pueblos are made out of stone; Teepees would blow down and pueblos are strong so i bet they were being prepared for the weather

Hohokam artifacts made from seashells occur in various sizes and shapes.

The Anasazi were an ancient people who no longer exist. There is no archaeological proof that they gave wedding gifts, or if they did, what these would have been.

No, there were not many buffalo in the Anasazi areas. There was rabbit, antelope, big horn, mule deer, elk, prairie dog, and they raised turkeys.

true

they used them for condems

The Anasazi people built with stone and used a mix of clay,sand and mud to make mortar and plaster. They used logs for roof beams. Then split poles, bark and mud plaster on top. Buildings that were more than one story had double walls with rock rubble fill between them.

The tools they used were axes to cut trees and brush. Tools to work the stone a little and tools to spread plaster, although hand prints are often seen.

Some was given to the settelers, some was purchased or taken by treaties that were either unfairly crafted, but most was taken without any form of compensation.

Lascaux, France, 17,000 years ago Frank Edge's discovery began as a moment of pattern recognition, and it would take an astronomer's familiarity with the constellations to see it. Edge was just gazing at photos of the famed cave paintings at Lascaux, France, when he quickly identified the Pleiades in a series of six dots over the shoulder of the most prominent bull. He kept looking at the six figures, four of them bulls, that make up the Hall of Bulls mural. The more he looked, the more representations of stars he began to see in the outline of those figures. Now that he's sorted it all out, he can tell you that what he saw were new constellations, arbitrary groupings of stars, that are bigger than those we know today. The body of that dominant bull incorporates the constellation Taurus, of which the Pleiades is a part. In the next bull, he found Orion and Gemini, and in the next Leo, with portions of Virgo. In the next figure, a horse's head is the feet of Virgo, and at the far end of the mural, a curious unicorn is made up of Scorpius, Sagitarrius and Libra. All the dots are in the right place, with appropriate shapes says Edge. With the Pleiades, we have it easy, with dots matching dots. All the rest are what you get when you connect dots into pictures. It was time to turn to the computer for verification. Using Sky Globe, Edge went backwards in time to the date archeologists assign the cave paintings, based on cave floor pollen samples. And there the computer-generated pictures of the positions of the stars showed those very same constellations, all neatly lined up on the horizon on the summer solstice of 15,000 B.C., 17,000 years ago. He had confirmed the painting's date.

I'm not so sure but, there wasn't really a leader of the Anasazi Native American tribe

Anasazi is a Navajo word for a native american group (not one tribe) that existed in the area before the Navajo and experienced a serious population decline before Europeans arrived. So they existed for many thousands of years.

Their descendants are most likely the Hopi, so the culture of the so called Anasazi was probably similar to that of modern day Hopi. So when the Navajo arrived and called them Anasazi they probably called themselves Hopi as they do now.

Yes, usually there was water in the canyons below. Sometimes it was seasonal water. They also had rain and snow melt. They sometimes channeled and or collected water from the cliffs or used check dams. Rock pools, and water seepage would get them through droughts. The elevation of most sites in quite high so snow melt would be retained in the soil with careful management.

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.

again do you have to cook the halled barley or and you just eat it raw

It was anasazi

The exact number of Indian tribes in Mexico is open to discussion. It is safe to say that there are about 50 distinct groups. The 1990 census put the number of people who spoke American Indian languages at 8%. Some of the most well-known are the Huichol (western Mexico), Nahuatl (central, southern states of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Hidalgo, Puebla, Tlaxcala), Otomi (mainly Hidalgo state), Tarahumara (Chihuahua), Yaqui (Sonora, Sinaloa), Seri (Sonora), Mayo (Sonora, Sinaloa), Zapotec (Oaxaca and southern states), Maya (Yucatan, Quintana Roo) Cochimi (Baja Norte), Totonac (Veracruz), Pima (Sonora), Cocopa (Baja), Tarascan (Michoacan), Kickapoo (Coahuila).

Recent advances in technology have allowed the extraction of mitochondrial DNA from prehistoric skeletal material. Haplogroup B4'5 is thought to have been common among the Anasazi of the ancient U.S. Southwest. Haplogroup B4'5 appears to have been a fixture in the Southwest at least since the introduction of agriculture to the region from Mesoamerica 2,500 to 3,500 years ago. In some areas the haplogroup is found in 100% of the Native American population and sometimes multiple populations share the identical forms of the haplogroup; for example, a single variant of haplogroup B4'5 is shared by the Navajo, Zuni, Jemez and Seri groups, as well as others.

Haplogroup B4'5 reaches levels of 75-90% among the Pueblo groups of New Mexico and Arizona, which are thought to descend from the cliff-dwelling Anasazi who occupied the Southwest from the 8th century AD until their sudden disappearance in the early 12th century.

The Anasazi didn't literally disappear; modern Pueblo people and most scholars believe warfare or environmental catastrophe forced them to abandon their elaborate cliff dwellings for settlements in the Rio Grande valley. Recent studies of DNA extracted from 2,000-year-old remains have supported that view by establishing the presence of haplogroup B4'5 among the Anasazi.

There may have also been some small amounts of the "X" haplogroup as well. Dr. Smith was able to examine the haplogroups of ancient Anasazi skeletons and to compare these to samples from current populations. The study showed a makeup that was consistent with previous studies showing the Anasazi to be part of the pueblo family that includes the Hopi and other tribes in the Southwest. But the study also revealed the presence of another haplogroup which appears similar to an "X" haplogroup found in the Navajo, but which has not been found in the Hopi.

Haplogroup X is an oddball among the branches of the human mitochondrial DNA tree. It is scattered around the globe in the Northern Hemisphere, but aside from concentrations in a few isolated groups it almost never rises above a small percentage of the population. The presence of haplogroup X2 among Native Americans was something of a mystery when originally discovered, and to some degree still is.

It usually depended on the piece they were making and how advanced the person making it was.

does anyone known the answer to this
