Pueblo Area and Eviroment







The Pueblo Eviroment was much diffrent than what it is today. Back than, the weather was a lot cooler and wetter, there were glaciers on top of Mountains such as, the Sandria Mountains. Also there were small swallow lakes called playas. Lastly animals such as mammoths, saber- toothed tigers, and dire wolves lived there. Pueblos today collect plants and seeds, and people moved campsites to diffrent places, mostly over great distances. At least 8,000 - 9,000 years ago the Pueblo Tribe started growing population and started losing plants and crops, and smaller places were left for hunting. Their food lasted for a while at least until the birth of Jesus. For that thier enviroment began to change. Things started scooping out of the sand they, were covered with brush roofs. They were about 5,000 years old. Around 500 B.C the first evidence the Pueblos found were one of the greatest changes they found. It was agriculture of the growing of corn. The Pueblos life changed that same year. All thier lives were focused on agriculture. Pueblo's still hunted and gathered animals.
