Tsin Kletsin in San Juan County, New Mexico was built toward the end of the classic Chaco construction era. About 80 rooms have been identified. There were also three kivas. Tree ring data indicate that it was built in the early 1100s.
The Great House is unexcavated. You can reach the site on the South Mesa Hiking Trail.
