The Anasazi culture began, in the southwestern USA, long time before the whites came and left a vast amount of archeological evidence. The evidence is found in the territory of the Four Corners, crossed by the modern borders of the four states of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado (Romano 1).This territory of the four corners was mainly referred to as the cradle of Pueblo civilization. The Pueblo culture came to be at about the time of Christ (Ayer 5).

The earliest Puebloans were the basketmakers, known for the products they wove from apocynum and yucca fibers. The baskets were used for holding water, gathering berries and nuts, cooking, and others for carrying babies. They also crafted sandals from the same fibers and used buckskin to decorate them. The Anasazi culture has a significant existence in pottery. Archeologists have classified Anasazi pottery styles into several groups of pottery types which share a lot of structures that enhances features used for decoration purposes (Indians.org).

According to Indians.org, the emergence of the period of the Anasazi is widely described by variations in lifestyle as they started concentrating on agriculture, and they started building more permanent houses to settle in. They built pithouses with poles and brush plastered with mud. They also established cliff dwellings that were stone houses built in caves. There was also the existence of the Anasazi flute that is evidence that the Anasazi Indians practiced music alongside other practices.
