Hypothetically: why couldn't the "Great Houses" scattered around the area be 'granaries' for corn? Since they grew fields of corn plus other foods and there is a possible 'slave culture' could the corn and other foods not be some sort of 'homage' to the Superior Ones in the largest settlement (Chaco) whose surrounding fields were not good for growing food. The 'special' people who dwelled in the 'Great Houses' could be security guards protecting the 'homage' offered up to the Superior Ones. What you recognize as granaries could be granaries for the common population based on their size. This type of food set-up with Great Houses as granaries for the food for the Superior Ones and the acknowledged granaries for the common people also controled/guarded by the Superior Ones Security System would keep the food of the commoners under the control of the Superior Ones.

It's probably a regional trade center with an open air market /trade center. The "Nobels" probably lived there and enjoyed the best of what people brought to trade.

This fits with the Diné narrative that the Anasazi and Ancestral Puebloans were two separate groups- the Anasazi were ruthless slave masters, and the Ancestral Puebloans their slaves.

Navajo story of the gambler who lived at chaco and enslaved those who lost host games built chaco. Slavery caused the revolt against the gambler from the south and all the pottery was destroyed and places associated with chaco destroyed. Also, they were evil people who woeshipped the darkess and engaged in ritual sacrifices and cannibalism.

This discussion omits consideration of a clan structure within the larger urban polity, which might help explain the multiple great house arrangement as well as a diffusion and specialization of skills and roles. The clan structure might have anticipated similar internal affiliations within Navajo/Dine society, or as evident today within North Pacific Coast tribes.

A you tube site named Navajo Traditional Teaching has several videos on how the Dine view Chaco canyon and the Anasazi. They claim that the Anasazi "nobility" were actually slave traders and that the slaves eventually revolted and wiped out the nobility. Afterwards, some of the former slaves became clans of Dine. "Navajo" is actually a Spanish language corruption of the term (A nab a ho) that the Anasazi language used to describe the Dine.

Was out there this past weekend. I had many questions. This answered many. It is a shame that a few folks, working from a strange stance has influenced the history or rather the interpretation of history based on an assumption with any claims to being remotely valid. I see that currently with the use of prescribed burns. It is unfortunate that the local people do not share their stories as it could change so much, honestly, so many opportunities to put story and legends to events that you could create many new archaeologists/historians/park people (PhDs) out of the local peoples AND keep that knowledge uniquely theirs at the same time.

Chaco Canyon was the meeting place of the tribes of 5 directions. They arose from the wars with the reds as survivors. Here they shared the beautiful obsidian in great quantities here. Each house is built in the style of the traveler. The secret to understanding Chaco is to see the skill and pride they shared in the construction technics and their difference. Each shared their cultures and the mix created a very knowledgeable group.

The title of this says 2023 Texas Canyon Mountain Bike RACE... but the video, pics and description seem to describe the FUN RIDE, not the RACE. I had watched a similar video before I signed up for the RACE last year. Having been to the Texas Canyon area several times, and looked at a satellite view of this area, this looked like it would a good place for a race. Unfortunately much of the trail was tufts of grass that had been recently mowed, and it wasn't any fun to ride over 50,000 of those. Then towards the end was a section that was a sand wash, and riders were literally having to carry their bikes for a few blocks. Apparently the FUN RIDE uses a different route. I've ridden hundreds of miles of mountain bike trails in Arizona, and once was enough for this one.

The area around Chaco canyon has SO many dams/tanks in the valleys. There are hundreds and hundreds of them, and most of them are at least 20-30m long structures. The population of the area had to be higher than modern archeologists are saying. Building one of those without earthmoving equipment must have taken a lot of people and a lot of work. Let alone hundreds.

Great video. I like the part where ethnologies and the original experts supposed some things about the pueblo people and Chaco that were inaccurate assumptions that were then accepted by academia as dogma. I see from many people that this area is center of trade and commerce for that region at that time.
@Neebrecker 5 ай бұрын
Yeah, great video, though like many academics he oversells how revolutionary and "against dogma" his research is (not saying this need to prove the predecessors wrong and make a name is a bad thing for actual sophisticated academics like Lekson--it's only dangerous when practiced by the undisciplined armchair conspiracy folk trying to fool people into buying their junk stories). Lekson here cites early ethnologists/cultural anthropologists, but those people weren't very interested in the historical questions such as the Chaco Canyon phenomenon, but instead were interested in studying currently existing societies. In fact, their work drastically improved the practice and theories of cultural anthropology, a different field than the archaeology field that Leson works in. The only reason he can get away setting them up as part of the foil is that Chaco is unique in that the descendants literally live nearby, and so it's a very plausible methodology to use their current and recorded cultural/political practices (Lekson's "Pueblo space") as a source for understanding those they had in the unrecorded past. Historians use cross-time cultural comparisons to generate explanations all the time (see work on ancient Egypt for instance). But..as Leksen shows, this methodology has largely failed for explaining the Chaco phenomenon and needs to go on the back burner.
