Ancient Village or Settlement in The Southwest

Taos Pueblo (or Pueblo de Taos) is an ancient pueblo belonging to a Tiwa-speaking Native American tribe of Puebloan people. It lies about 1 mile north of the modern city of Taos, New Mexico, USA. The pueblos are considered to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in the United States. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Taos Pueblo's most prominent architectural feature is a multi-storied residential complex of reddish-brown adobe, built on either side of the Rio Pueblo. The Pueblo's website states it was probably built between 1000 and 1450 A.D.

Wow, these look very modern - are they restored? One assumes so, if continually inhabited.

    Yes, They are continually restored, although the same basic layout (the two complexes, one on each side of the creek) appears to have remained the same since the first contact era. Note the modern windows and doors. The original rooms on the lower levels were reached by ladders and ceiling openings. There are not many year round residents left, but family ownership appears to be maintained at each residence within the complex, whether its occupied year round of not.
