Architecture and Dendrochronology of Chetro Ketl, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico
Chetro Ketl is one of the largest ruins in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico. The visible architecture of Chetro Ketl dates from the early eleventh to the early twelfth centuries A.D. The rear wall of the building is about 480 ft long. The ruins cover almost 3 acres, with almost half of that area consisting of enclosed plaza. Chetro Ketl, at its largest, had between 200 and 225 ground-floor rooms, and a total of 450 to 550 rooms on all stories. Twelve kivas are currently visible, including one Great Kiva in the plaza. Three kinds of data are presented in this paper. Excavation notes, wall notes and the third class of data is Dendrochronology (Chapter V). Together, these three classes of data constitute the basic material available for the study of Chetro Ketl's architecture.
