Aztec Ruins National Monument

Detailed Description

The Great Kiva at Aztec National Monument has been "restored" to match an original configuration. In its original state it had been first constructed in a style of the Chacoans, but later modified into the style of the Mesa Verdeans. The Great Kiva was used for community ceremonies (Cajete and Nichols, 2004).
