Located in Mesa Verde National Park Colorado this is the largest of the Anasazi Dwellings .Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling at Mesa Verde National Park. It has 150 rooms, plus an additional 75 open areas. Twenty-one of the rooms are kivas, and 25 to 30 rooms have residential features. The number of Ancestral Puebloans living in Cliff Palace at any one time was 100 to 120.
It is seen with a tour guide from the park and quite informative at the incredible price of only three dollars!!

Matera (Italian pronunciation: [maˈtɛːra], locally [maˈteːra] (About this soundlisten); Materano: Matàrë [maˈtæːrə]) is a city in the region of Basilicata, in Southern Italy. It is the capital of the province of Matera. The town lies in a small canyon carved out by the Gravina River.
Known as la città sotterranea ("the underground city"), its historical centre "Sassi" contains ancient cave dwellings. The exact date when these were first occupied, and the continuity of subsequent occupation, are questions that scholars still debate. Sassi, along with the park of the Rupestrian Churches, was awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 1993.
Matera is one of the 2019 European Capitals of Culture, together with the Bulgarian town of Plovdiv.[4]
This little dwelling is often overlooked making your way to the visitor center at Chaco Culture National Historical Park. It likely dates to the period around 1150-1200.
Chaco Canyon was one of the primes objectives of my New Mexico trip.

An amazing place, Hogwarts
Abandoned long ago judging from the vegetatioin in front.
The house has a stone foundation but the porch obviously does not.
The garage is posted to the right.
My dwelling isn't much nicer, just a crooked house in the woods, but I like it. I've been stuck in it all weekend though, working behind the computer. Tomorrow, Josie has a school conference, and that's the last time I have to drive into town all week. :D 8:36PM

I've read about cave dwelling but seeing it, touching it, climbing into the cave, it was a wonderful experience. Cave close-up!
The Ancestral Pueblo people lived here in Bandelier National Monument from approximately 1150 CE to 1550 CE. They built homes carved from the volcanic tuff. The Monument is 50 square miles (130 km2) of the Pajarito Plateau, on the slopes of the Jemez Volcanic field in the Jemez Mountains.
Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.
The yard is laden with junk, much of which is not visible here. A garage and trailer on the property area posted to the right.
This is in a small hamlet.
This building on Goulston Street is the Wentworth Dwellings building where Jack The Ripper left the torn piece of apron belonging to Catherine Eddowes on September 30 1888.
The entrance where it was found is the doorway to the left of the Happy Days sign.

I captured part of this while photographing the building next door last week. I had to return after seeing the pic.
The eye-catching features, IMO, are the ecletic window coverings, the fancy pink tile, the brick at the entrance which was apparently covered over elsewhere, the dormer with porch and the overall two-winged shape. Nice old wrought iron fence too.
It is a 6,600 square foot building and pigeon approved.
Another view of a rural house that was dumped by the owners who built a modest house adjacent to this wonderful train wreck. They can admire it every day!
Old Orhei is now an Architectural and Cultural heritage site, preserving many traditional buildings such as this beautiful example. With the main dwelling to the left of the courtyard, the kitchen (and winter sleeping quarters) are built into the stone wall and hillside.

A significant part of the households in the reserve suffer from a lack of direct access to running water and electricity, due to the immensity and isolation of the desert territory.The overall standard of living is below the U.S. national average, marked by a high poverty rate and health facilities that are sometimes remote or energised.
Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesses.

2016.03.28 Noszvaj, Hungary
The Bükkalja region is awash with volcanic rhyolite tuff, and locals have made use of the porous rock for centuries. Besides wine cellars, people have carved out caves for livestock, food storage and of course as homes. At one point 30% of Noszvaj’s population lived in these types of residences. 40 cave homes were still inhabited as late as 1970.
There are several set of ruins that can be found in Lower Fish Canyon. This is the first set of ruins that is not very noticeable due to a lot of brush overgrowth. However, if your are heading to White Painted Hands Ruins, don't forget to make a stop to look at this relic to appreciate how Native Americans lived.
Bandelier National Monument is a 33,677-acre (136 km2) United States National Monument near Los Alamos in Sandoval and Los Alamos counties, New Mexico. The monument preserves the homes and territory of the Ancestral Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest. Most of the pueblo structures date to two eras, dating between AD 1150 and 1600.
The following recreated zulu dwelling is on display in the Ondini KwaZulu Cultural Museum, in Ulindi, near where Cetshwayo's one-time capital, Ondini, was destroyed.
The raised area at the back of the dwelling is known as the Usamo, and it is here that pots and utensils are stored. This is also the sacred area of the dwelling and it was beleived that the spirits of the ancestors lived here. In the centre of the dwelling the hearth is housed, and if occupied a fire would burn continuously. The smoke of the fire would raise up and pass through the thatched roof, serving not only to strengthen the thatch but keep the thatch clean of insects etc.
The women slept on the left and the man on the right. If the man felt like some nookie, he would wait for the kids to sleep and then tap his wife on the ankles with a long stick. His wife would dutifully cross over to his side, return to her side once the fun ends. (Whats happened to old time values?)
