La casa chiquita


Casa Chiquita ("Small House") is a Ancestral Puebloan great house and archaeological site located in Chaco Canyon, northwestern New Mexico, United States.

Contents

Located near the old north entrance to the canyon, its layout features a smaller profile with a square block of rooms surrounding a central elevated round room, or kiva. It also lacked the open plazas and separate kivas of its predecessors. Larger, squarer blocks of stone were used in the masonry; its kivas were designed in the northern Mesa Verdean tradition. Its ruins now lie within Chaco Culture National Historical Park.
