The Puerco Pueblo, by the Rio Puerco, was settled nearly a thousand years ago by the ancestral Puebloan people. The dwellings were built of shaped sandstone blocks and were inhabited between 1250AD and 1380AD. During its peak the pueblo had a total population of around 200 people living in over 100 rooms. The summer rains nourished the nearby fields of corn, bean and squash that the villagers planted each summer. In an area so dry it would seem impossible to live, they built pueblos, harvested rainwater, grew crops and raised families. Puerco Pueblo is in Petrified Forest National Park near Holbrook, Arizona, USA.
