Once home to more than 2,500 people, Hovenweep includes six prehistoric villages built between A.D. 1200 and 1300. The towers were built by a sedentary farming culture that occupied the Four Corners area where present-day Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. According to archaeologists, the towers might have been celestial observatories, defensive structures, storage facilities, civil buildings, homes or any combination of the above. By the end of the 13th century, it appears a prolonged drought, possibly combined with resource depletion, factionalism and warfare, forced the inhabitants of Hovenweep to depart. The ancestral Puebloans migrated south to the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico and the Little Colorado River Basin in Arizona. Today's Pueblo, Zuni and Hopi people are descendants of this culture. | Credit line: Gates Frontiers Fund Colorado Collection within the Carol M.
