Mesa Verde
Mesa Verde National Park
The park was created in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt, to protect
some of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in the world
Contrary to popular belief, the Ancestral Puebloan people of Mesa Verde did
not disappear. They migrated south to New Mexico and Arizona, and became
today's modern pueblo people.
Now the park averages about 600,000 visitors per year.
Currently Mesa Verde has over 4,700 archaeological sites with many more yet
to be discovered.
Mesa Verde black-on-white pottery was
sculpted into many things such as
canteens, mugs, ladles and bowls.
