Great #Kiva at Chetro Ketl
First get a feel for the size (62.5 feet across).
Then study this model of how its domed roof was constructed!
The Wiki entry says they estimate it took 750 trees brought in from a great distance...

"Pecked Basins" says the convenient Park Service sign.
There were two or three of these pot-sized depressions "pecked" into the sandstone where water would flow over the cliff edge.

Astronomy at Chaco
I love the Native American interpretation of the Pleiades star cluster. 🙂
And a photo from Wiki Commons of the “starburst” figure that might document the 1054 CE Crab Nebula Supernova. (And perhaps a faded Haley's Comet?)

Petroglyphs on the trail between Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Ketl from ~1000CE.
And yes some of those pockmarks are bullet holes. 🙁

The NPS has stabilized about a dozen rooms in #PuebloBonito that visitors can explore.
The doors are all five feet or less, so be prepared to stoop!
This was a great place to take 360 #Panoramas!
Note that the artifact in the foreground in the first photo is a mortar stone, used to grind grain.

These are two different renderings of the same footage. I was following the Pueblo Alto Trail through a huge crack in the cliff face. It was very windy down in the slot! At the end you can see the Kin Kletso Ruins in the near distance.
