Summary
The book talks about who the Anasazi Indians are and where they lived.
Information was given on theories about why the Anasazi Indians left there homes called cliff dwillings in Mesa Verde, Colorado. It also describes how they left Mesa Verde and went to Mexico.
MEN
The men and the boys went hunting and farming. The weapons they used are bow and arrows and spears.
Theories
I think they left because of war from the other tribes and diseases.
Cliff Dwellings
They built their homes under cliffs, on the sides of mountains. There homes were made of mud and grass dried in the sun.
Words I learned
1. Pathogens: An agent that causes infectious disease.
2. Skeletal: Framework consisting of parts of a human body once they have died.
3. Gradual: taking place; changing or moving
Anwering Questions
1. The Anasazi's settlements were special because they built the cliff dwellings themselves out of clay within the cliff.
2. It is unlikely because the Anasazi's had survived worse droughts.
3. There are so theories about the Anasazi Indian's because we do not know for sure how and why they disapeared.
4. I think they left because another tribe took over their settlements throgh war.
