Una Vida
Appearance
Una Vida was that one of the three earliest Chacoan Anasazi great houses; it is now an archaeological site located in Chaco Canyon, northwestern New Mexico, United States. Its construction began around 900 AD. Comprising at least two stories and 124 rooms,[1] it shares an arc or D-shaped design with its contemporaries, Penasco Blanco and Pueblo Bonito, but has a unique "dog leg" addition made necessary by topography. It is located in one of the canyon's major side drainages, near Gallo Wash, and was massively expanded after 930 AD.[2]
Etymology
Una Vida means "One Life" in the Spanish language.
