Chaco Culture - masonry at Pueblo Bonito

Detailed Description

View of the masonry at Pueblo Bonito. The styles of stone masonry changed over time, with specific styles being indicative of different time periods. The masonry shows a high degree of skill in both the cutting and laying of the masonry. There is evidence that the Chacoans covered most of the stonework with plaster (NPS, 1998; 1998c; 1996).
