More than fifteen hundred years ago, the Four Corners area was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloan people also known as the Anasazi. By grinding plants and rocks, the Ancestral Puebloans and even earlier Native Americans made colored pastes that served as paint. Using these mixtures, they painted figures and images which are referred to as pictographs. Click to enlarge Anasazi Handprints

Despite their defensive positions, continuing raids by the Utes and drought conditions in the mesa and canyon country forced the abandonment of the pueblitos in the late 1740s. All that remains are a few standing walls, some intact roofs, the forked stick hogans, and their rock art. Click to enlarge Monster Slayer Petroglyph
