The Anasazi were called Cliff Dwellers.  The Mexicans taught the Anasazi , how to  plant corn.  In the dry climate, corn could be preserved for a long time.  Men and boys did all of the hunting.  The most important crop for the Anasazi was corn.  They crushed corn with a stone called mano.  The corn that the Anasazi grew was multicolored and hard.

Women were responsible for cooking.  When the women worked, the babies were tucked in cradle boards which the women wore on their backs.  Older children helped do simple tasks or played.

The men of the Anasazis averaged a height of about five feet four inches tall and the women were slightly shorter.  The average age was forty.  Not many people lived longer than that.

The Anasazi ate roots, berries, nuts, greens, cactus seeds, fruits, and wild honey.  Berries of the Utah Juniper were used to flavor food and the Anasazi dried them to make jewelry.  The Anasazi used yucca cords to make a wide variety of articles.

They used turkey feathers to make blankets or robes.  Only few pieces of clothing have been found from the leftovers.

The Anasazi were very different from us and have taught us a lot about their daily life.
