Harsh deserts and rough mountains made civilization

adapt Terrain made living difficult for all

 Temperatures ranged from 78 to 96 most of the year

Many droughts occurred during the springtime and

summertime Walked to rivers daily to bring back water for the village

 Wore breach cloths to keep cool, except on ceremonial

days Wore sandals made of yucca and hemp

 Relied on irrigation only to water crops

Used pottery to hold any meat acquired

 Very little weapons; used arrows and spears

Not able to defend themselves well

 3 out of 4 children perished before the age of 2

Tended to wear big robes made of animal skin

The heat killed a lot of their people

 Flat-headed babies tended to have issues with brain

function

 Many evolutions occurred within these people

Still around today because of it

 Started out as simple basket weavers and hunter-

gatherers

 The next couple time periods were their most famous

Pueblo period
Learned about irrigation and agriculture

 Known today as the Anasazi

Still around by learning to adapt
