Anasazi Archeaology

The Anasazi occupied most of the Colorado Plateau for 1200 years up to 1350 A.D. The culture was sophisticated and mysteriously vanished about 700 years ago. The reasons for this disappearance are still not totally understood. Most theories finally conclude the Anasazi overpopulated the Plateau and exceeded the land's sustain-ability. Changing weather-patterns and a severe drought in the 14th century finally forced the Anasazi (Navajo for "The Ancient Ones") to move to regions to the south.
