Maybe the Gallina were prehistoric telemarketers. And the other tribes couldn’t take it anymore.
“Why you always call during Dinner?”
“No, me no want insurance. Me no care about competitive quotes!”
“Survey?!! Heroes is on! Why you no call at other times?”

The short version is the Anasazi did the "Donner Party" thing in the face of a drought induced famine. I doubt not being an Anasazi was any protection if a hungry band of the same showed up at your residence.
A more likely explanation, however, is that the local theater production of "Ravenous" went out of control after the director got eaten and there was nobody left to yell "Cut!"
I love these posts, but I wish archaeologists didn’t have such an aversion to cameras.
How did Helen Thomas escape the carnage ?
Humans have been wiping out rival groups since there have been rival groups of humans. There’s some evidence that Blacks were in South America 20,000 years ago, before the Indians. Kennewick Man was a different racial group, non-extinct, in North America.
Then I found another report that said there were no Gallina people, no archeology report, no artifacts. It was the work of a writer’s overactive imagination.
A year later I was in Aztec, NM (where I lived as a child). I visited the Aztec ruins and asked again about the Gallina People.
The Ranger said they get several inquiries a year about them and to his knowledge, they were no Gallina People.
Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Now we have an article from the National Geographic...So, Is there or isn’t there? And why the claim there isn't.
When are you going to be back on days? I have the photo album from my trip...
BTW, I’m going to Chaco Canyon Labor Day-will probably stop here (Nogales Cliff House) on the way back. It’s in the Santa Fe NF. Interesting about these Gallina...
Mystery at Chaco Canyon ... According to Christy G. Turner II, an anthropologist and regents professor at Arizona State University, invaders from Mexico practised cannabalism at Chaco.
During the period of 900-1200 AD, invaders from what is now central Mexico indulged in mass-murder “feeding sessions” of several days. At least 300 Hisatsinom were eaten, some of them children.
Distinctive teeth marks on the bones of the victims offer proof of the identity of the attackers, who commonly practiced implanting jewels such as jade and turquoise in their teeth.

Now you know I did most of my drinkin' at the Blue Spruce at Central and Lousiana. You're right about the stuff just lying around on the ground, pot shards, etc... from the 1300's. This year we had enough early rain that when the ground plants come up, you can see the outlines of collapsed adobe pueblo's rooms due to the differing soils. Almost like a blueprint on the ground. Saw it at San Marcos up north of Madrid.
I’m glad to see some nomenclature works across all disciplines:
“So right away you know something screwy is going on.”
Yes...those were exactly my thoughts....this just could NOT be...not according to the history being taught about these people who are put up on pedestals.
fyi ping....
Wow......is that the road that takes ya back to the east from the old 14 to the road east that connects back to road south to Edgewood ?
We found a lot of stuff there. Gold mining operation on that mountain destroys most of the history there....
You’re thinking of HWY 344 which curves around South Mtn. This place was right off N-14.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the

I vote for disgruntled ex who killed his wife and kids in a fit of jealous rage.
Makes sense. Human nature, after all...
Ok....North 14 is 344 now ?!?!?
