These are going to be photos of the dioramas in the museum. I've shared about the pottery over on my other blog, Alchemy of Clay.
First a look at the people who are known to have lived in the New Mexico area 10,000 years ago (but not in Mesa Verde.)
I tried to keep these in order of eras of development, but had to avoid other tourists, so some may be out of order.
More information about these Pre-Mesa Verde peoples has been found in my blogs from Museum of the Canyon of the Ancients.
