By A. D. 800 the Anasazi Indians were constructingmultistory pueblos-massive, stone apartment compounds. Each one was virtually astone town, which is why the Spanish would later call them pueblos, the Spanish word(5) for towns. These pueblos represent one of the Anasazis supreme achievements. Atleast a dozen large stone houses took shape below the bluffs of Chiaco Canyon innorthwest New Mexico. They were built with masonry walls more than a meter thickand adjoining apartments to accommodate dozens, even hundreds, of families. Thelargest, later named Pueblo Bonito (Pretty Town) by the Spanish, rose in five terraced(10) stories, contained more than 800 rooms, and could have housed a population of 1,000or more.Besides living quarters, each pueblo included one or more kivas-circularunderground chambers faced with stone. They functioned as sanctuaries where theelders met to plan festivals, perform ritual dances, settle pueblo affairs, and impart(15) tribal lore to the younger generation. Some kivas were enormous. Of the 30 or so atpueblo Bonito, two measured 20 meters across. They contained niches for ceremonialobjects, a central fire pit, and holes in the floor for communicating with the spirits oftribal ancestors.Each pueblo represented an astonishing amount of well-organized labor. Using only(20) stone and wood tools, and without benefit of wheels or draft animals, the buildersquarried ton upon ton of sandstone from the canyon walls, cut it into small blocks,hauled the blocks to the construction site, and fitted them together with mud mortar.Roof beams of pine or fir had to be carried from logging areas in the mountain forestsmany kilometers away. Then, to connect the pueblos and to give access to the(25) surrounding tableland, the architects laid out a system of public roads with stonestaircases for ascending cliff faces. In time, the roads reached out to more than80 satellite villages within a 60-kilometer radius.1.The paragraph preceding the passage most(A) how pueblos were built
