Pueblo Culture

From about 1300BP-1100BP during the political period, a distinct culture arose from the Basketmaker culture in the southwest especially in southern Utah. The Pueblo maintained an agricultural adaptive strategy in spite of the dry climate of the southwestern United States. Maize was the primary agricultural crop and was irrigated through a system or locks and dams, terraces and stone grids. Cotton also became a native crop which was then woven into clothing and other textiles. Tools consisted mainly of bone scrapers as well as stone knives and cultivating equipment. Much of the artifacts associated with this region are stone pipes, corrugated vessels, and digging sticks with sheep-horned blades. The Pueblo culture is a part of the Anasazi  tradition.
