Casa Chiquita, Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico
View Original Description
Casa Chiquita ("Small House") is a Chacoan Anasazi great house and archaeological site located in Chaco Canyon, northwestern New Mexico, United States. Located near the old north entrance to the Canyon, its layout features a smaller profile with a square block of rooms surrounding a central elevated round room. It also lacked the open plazas and separate kivas of its predecessors. Larger, squarer blocks of stone were used in the masonry; its kivas were designed in the northern Mesa Verdean tradition. Its ruins now lie within Chaco Culture National Historical Park.
