The prehistory of the American Southwest and Mexico is a fascinating study. It includes Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. The Anasazi Culture is best known on the Colorado Plateau, but further south the Salado, Sinagua, Hohokam, Mogollon, and Trincheras all represent large groups that made lives throughout Arizona and the border region of Mexico.

Archaeologist have long wondered and argued whether Chaco represented an evil empire perhaps sprung from the MesoAmerican cultures of South and Central America. One study today says Chaco housed thugs who enforced outlying pueblos to pay tribute under threat of death or worse being eaten....\fp\\b0\\i0\\fs10\行行行行行行行行行行行行行行行行.\fp\\i0\\b\\fs16\Digital Collections/IPTC..\fp\\b0\\i0\\fs10\Photographer=Pk_Weis; .$
