Painted Hand Pueblo is a perfect example of what makes anthropology fun

This is Painted Hand Pueblo, a ruin found in the Canyon of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado. This was my first stop on my Thanksgiving roadtrip, and I think it's a perfect example of what makes anthropology so much fun even when you're not an actual professional anthropologist.

I have a love of ancient Puebloan (sometimes called the Anasazi) ruins. I find their architecture, especially their late architecture, beautiful. Of all the human historical sites I've been to, Puebloan ruins would top my list. You know that meme where the car is suddenly going for the exit on a highway? That is literally me with Puebloan ruins - as with this one. As I climbed down the canyon wall to get closer, I began extrapolating what I could about this pueblo.

it was clearly built in the later centuries of the ancient Puebloan civilization.

Right?

But why did I think that?

This is why anthropology is so fun. Because I was right. Painted Hand Pueblo was built in the 1300s, which is when the ancient Puebloan civilization was in its decline.

To understand how I came to this conclusion, let's look at the ruins of Mesa Verde.

Pithouse, above. Kiva, below

The earliest ruins belong to the Basketweavers, built around 500 CE. Later ruins from around 950, however, look to have been influenced by the Chacoan people. Yes. As in Chaco Canyon.

Now if you remember from my previous post about Chaco Canyon, Chaco Canyon was at its height between 900 and 1100.

See those circular rooms? Those are traditional kivas. Chaco Canyon's influence is a fantastic example of how ancient Puebloan architecture changed over centuries, from shallow pithouses, to kivas and roomblocks, to the classical Puebloan cliff dwellings and other multi-story structures.

... Like the Painted Hand Pueblo.

However, Chaco Canyon and Painted Hand Pueblo are, like, 150 miles away from each other. Obviously, these architectural influences take some time to disseminate. The ancient Puebloans mostly migrated north, over several centuries, that ebbed and flowed depending on the seasons and geological changes.

This is how Painted Hand Pueblo was built in the 1300s, centuries after the height of Chaco Canyon. This gap came from the natural boundaries of how fast people migrated.

So yeah, anthropology is fascinating.

The way the finale went down isn’t the ending a lot of people wanted—I get that, and I sympathize. But I really do believe that’s in part because it isn’t an ending.

And, frankly, I love the way this season finale went purely for selfish reasons.

The thing is, I honestly think that from a fandom POV, that’s so much better than having everything go the way we wanted or expected. I’m already so inspired to create things—to patch holes of things I didn’t get to see or hypothesize on how things will turn out. There’s debate on what the wish really means that I KNOW is going to manifest in some creative af world building in future fics I’ll get to read.

I know some people are contemplating leaving the fandom after this, but that was going to happen regardless of how the season went down. And I hope that some of those people still find a way to enjoy what the show has given them. I hope people realize it’s never too late to play with whatever ideas they may have.

I think this “ending” is unsettling on purpose. And I think so many cool things are going to be created because of that set-up.

I’m super duper excited okay?

#I do think because I had a few things spoiled for me it made the episode easier for me to digest personally #and I kind of had no expectations going in so I just really enjoyed it!#and yes there are aspects I didn’t love but I’m going to make an effort to spread positivity instead of pointing those out #I just love this silly little show and that’s gonna be true even if I disagree with the way some things go #but I do understand other ppl might not feel the same way and that’s valid! everyone is valid!#i just selfishly hope I get to see that manifest in fics hehe #miraculous ladybug #ml conformation #conformation spoilers #ml recreation #recreation spoilers #ml s5 #ml spoilers

you cannot tease wei wuxian and hua cheng hunting for funsies and not show that to us??? it has to go one of two ways right? either an absolute visious blood bath where everyone cowers in fear or the equivalent of a teenage girl's slumber party. both??? both.
