Pueblo Pintado Great House

The ruins of an Ancestral Puebloan Great House stand in the area, 16 miles east of Pueblo Bonito, as part of the Chaco Canyon area. The name Pueblo Pintado is Spanish for "painted village", named by a guide during an 1849 expedition. The great house is estimated to have had 90 rooms, 14 to 16 kivas, and there is a great kiva to the south with an interior diameter of 58 feet. Tree ring dating, (dendrochronology) puts the construction of Pueblo Pintado at 1060-1061 AD, during the height of the Chacoan construction period.
