　In the 1600's when the Spanish moved into what later was to become the southwestern United States,they encountered the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo,Hopi,and Zuni peoples.These ancestors,known variously as the Basket Makers,the Anasazi,or the Ancient Ones,had lived in the area for at least 2,000years.They were an advanced agricultural people who used irrigation to help grow their crops.
　　The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe and wood.Anasazi houses were originally built in pits and were entered from the roof.But around the year 700A.D.,the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and join them together into rambling multistoried complexes,which the Spanish called pueblos or villages.Separate subterranean rooms in these pueblos _____ known as kivas or chapels _____ were set aside for religious ceremonials.Each kiva had a fire pit and a hole that was believed to lead to the underworld.The largest pueblos had five stories and more than 800rooms.
　　The Anasazi family was matrilinear,that is,descent was traced through the female.The sacred objects of the family were under the control of the oldest female,but the ritual ceremonies were conducted by her brother or son.Women owned the rooms in the pueblo and the crops,once they were harvested.While still growing,crops belonged to the man who,in contrast to most other Native American groups,planted them.The women made baskets and pottery,the men wove textile and crafted turpoise jewelry.
