Hungo Pavi was started in the 11th century and continued for about 150 years. Lumber was brought to the area from forested areas up to 60 miles away. The sandstone came from the top of the cliff. The remains of a prehistoric stairway connected the Chaco roadways to the top of the mesa. |
The majority of the pueblo is still covered by desert sands and fauna. Hungo Pavi has not been excavated to preserve the remaining ruins. The portions which are visible consist of multiple story buildings which extend above the covered mounds.
