While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
  • Modern Pueblo tribal nations were preceded by the Ancestral Puebloan civilization, which occupied parts of the southwestern US until approximately 1600 CE.
  • Keet Seel in northeastern Arizona is a former Ancestral Puebloan settlement inhabited from approximately 1250-1300 CE.
  • It was constructed in a natural cliff alcove and had multistory adobe and stone buildings.
  • These buildings had cube-shaped, contiguous rooms that surrounded kivas.
  • Kivas are round rooms typically used for ceremonial purposes and as gathering spaces.
