They probably left because the National Park Fees just keep going up.

So these bricklayers decided to give up their homes to live out in the heat and cold and snow and rain?

Must have been union.

They probably elected a bunch of Liberals to their Tribal Council, and when their taxes got too high they moved someplace else and did it all over again.

Perhaps it was only the turkeys that migrated.

>>after they vanished without a trace

Seems there’s a trace... of cannibalism.

Who Ate the Anasazi?

HINT: Not Christopher Columbus.

This confirms what most people already thought was the most reasonable explanation - that the modern puebloans are the descendants of the Anasazi. Basically, hiding in plain sight, living as they have for centuries.

Such is the state of American journalism that they no longer realize that the 1300s are the 14th Century.

I was under the impression BCE stood for "Before the Common Era".

They would never do that! They were indigenous people communing with nature and living harmoniousy with the animals and the environment.

I expect them to find 700 year old pinatas any day now.

...suggest contemporary Pueblo peoples of the Northern Rio Grande are biological and cultural descendants of Four Corners populations

Well, they wouldn't have had far to go. And, nice as the Chaco cultural hearth may have been, when a drought hits, such as the 25-year dry spell from around 1280-1320 AD, people cannot sustain in place. They have to go near a river that gets snow runoff.

At about the same time, there were invaders from what is now Mexico (hmmm) and, being of Aztec persuasion, they were much more able to make war and intimidate (it is thought they also brought cannibalism, ritual or otherwise, to the region -- as butchered human bones should suggest).

The little Mogollon people in Eastern AZ and Western NM also vanished about this same time.

Interesting thing is that in the same time frame the cahokia pyramid people of southeastern Illinois also disappeared. Its thought that the climate change that brought drought to the south west also brought big flooding to the Mississippi valley for the first time 400 years.
