Agate House

The Agate House was built between 1050 and 1300 A.D., possibly by transient farmers or traders as a temporary home.



A dearth of artifacts lead researchers to believe the 8-room pueblo's occupancy time was brief, and little is known about the original inhabitants and why they may have abandoned it.



Distinguishing this dwelling's remains from others in the region is its uncommon construction materials - petrified wood sealed with mud mortar.
