Sunday, August 18, 2019 Chaco Canyon: Chetro Ketl



Can you find Chetro Ketl on the map?
This sign is at the trailhead for Chetro Ketl.

At Chetro Ketl there are windows and doors at the junction of many walls. 
In this Kiva, or gathering space, you can see several very large circular rocks. Archeologists believe they were placed under the logs that were used to hold up the roof.
This view shows many rooms at the site. Archeologists believe that the small rooms were used for storage and the larger rooms were used to house families.

The kiva, or gathering space, at Chetro Ketl
has a wall around it. Archeologists are not sure why.
