I used to live at the end of Anasazi Lane, right next to the forest. I picked up probably 15,000 pottery shards on my property over the years. They were all in specific areas, and I found a few pit houses on the property too.

I was eventually able to tell the difference between Anasazi and Mogollon pottery, even though it is slight. I believe the Mogollon people merged into the Anansazi culture and disappeared as an indipendent tribe. I also have some nice Anaszai points, whether for spears or arrows. All taken from my own property (None fromt eh forest side of the fence. I didn't want to risk that problem!)

WIth that in mind, I like reading about the Anasazi people. I have amassed some good information and knowledge. I know about sites that are not "secret" but not very well known either. And have bought two other properties in the area that had settlements on them that had never been excavated. I excavated one of them, finding numerous rooms and interesting artifacts, and left the other and sold the property as it was.

thanks for the article. :-)

I've been to Chaco Canyon twice. That place is amazing! Every time I hike around there I always get the feeling that Anasazi spirits are with me. Even smoked a peace pipe to the four winds in one of the kivas with the spirits wrapping us in a warm glow of approval.

Years ago, I drove over something like 40 miles of rough gravel and dirt road to visit an Anasazi settlement on the Utah/Colorado border -- Hovenweap. Quite a place, with its stone towers and cavernous dwellings. So quiet there that I could almost visualize the daily activities of the people who once lived there. Might go back someday -- hope the road is better.
