Between 900AD and 1200AD native people inhabited the Painted Desert east of the San Francisco Peaks of Arizona.  In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families.  Their way of life was the key to survival in this harsh landscape.  These people survived here, farming one of the warmest and driest places on the Colorado Plateau.  They developed the skills to farm the land and endure hardship in an area where many would not.  These ancestral Puebloan people used petrified wood not only for tools but also as a building material.  Located on top of a small hill, this structure was built almost entirely of petrified wood and sealed with mud mortar.  These thought-provoking remains bring to mind the innovativeness in building and the environmental challenges faced by these indigenous peoples.  Based on nearby similar buildings, this pueblo was most likely part of a much larger community of \

Attracted to the lush flood plain of the Paayu, native people arrived at Homolovi around 1330AD.  They came from the Hopi Mesas which are 60 miles north.  The Paayu is now known as the Little Colorado River.  About 750 to 1000 people lived here, in a 1200 room village.  They farmed corn, beans, squash and cotton in the flood plain and sand dunes.  They also gathered native wild foods growing in the area and hunted for beaver, antelope, deer, elk and waterfowl.  The Homolovi people left the Little Colorado River valley sometime prior to 1400AD and probably made their way back to their ancestral villages on the Hopi Mesas.  In the 1960’s the ancient dwellings were threatened by illegal collectors of ancient artifacts.  Homolovi State Park was eventually established to protect the artifacts and dwellings.  Homolovi State Park is near Winslow, Arizona, USA.
