Sand Canyon Pueblo


Sand Canyon Pueblo is the site of an ancient Pueblo Indian village in southwestern Colorado. Occupation of the site is believed to have begun during the late A.D. 1240s or early 1250s and lasted until approximately A.D. 1280, a time span that corresponds to the late Pueblo III period.

With an estimated 420 rooms, 90 kivas, and 14 towers, as well as an enclosed plaza, a D-shaped bi-wall building, and a great kiva, the site is one of the largest and most archaeologically significant in the central Mesa Verde region.
