Cliff Palace, Cliff Palace Loo

In the Southwest, the Anasazi began constructing stone and adobe pueblos around 900 BCE.[10 ]These apartment-like structures were often built into cliff faces, as seen in the Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde. Some grew to be the size of cities, with Pueblo Bonito along the Chaco River in New Mexico once consisting of 800 rooms.[9]
