The Anasazi, also known as the Ancient Puebloans, inhabited the Four Corners region of the United States from approximately 100 AD to 1300 AD. They began as small, nomadic groups but transitioned to more permanent settlements around 700 AD, developing sophisticated agricultural practices and intricate adobe dwellings. By the late 1100s, the Anasazi built remarkable cliff dwellings, such as those found at Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly. However, by the end of the 13th century, they began to abandon their settlements, likely due to drought, resource depletion, and social factors.
