The Anasazi are ancient tribes that were formed around 500 A.B and they lived in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. They were hunters and gatherers until they learned how to build homes, and make essentials. They made their homes by digging a pit in the ground and using logs to keep it stable, and then filling in the rest of it with loose sticks and mud. They made pottery and engraved it with Anasazi symbols, and left some blank to use for cooking and other purposes.
For food they mainly grew corn, squash, and beans. For meat they caught mice, rabbits, and sometimes deer, which they usual smoked so it would stay good for longer. They would weave baskets to store food in and to carry things to another destination. A bow and arrow were used to catch their food.
They carved their symbols into cave walls. The symbols showed things like the different sun positions, the weather, and other things that could get passed on from one tribe to another.
