Resources
The Puebloan did not have many resources because of the desert. As an effect they had to save their resources as much as they could. They did not waste any of the resources. The reason is that the Puebloan's would never know when they would find it again. Rivers and the Rocky Mountains near them provided them water to drink and to use for there crops. They built dams to store water from the melting snow from the Rocky Mountains. When it did rain the Puebloan's would save the water in ditches.
Their shelter was under the cliffs. The materials they used for there housing were clay, mud and stone. Clay was used to build houses and used for pottery. All those materials were used for building houses. Other materials such as, lumber and other things were far away. If they wanted lumber and other things they would have to travel to go get those materials. They used bones and wood to build ladders.Also bones were used for weapons.
Since there was limited water they had to rely on they're farming even more. Their crops were the only things they had to eat. The Puebloan's did a little bit of hunting but not a whole lot. They also ate the plants around them. The climate and land made it really hard for the puebloan's to live because the desert did not provide a whole lot of resources for them.

Here is a map of where the puebloan lived. This map shows what was near them on order to get their resources. The rocky mountains ( right side of the map), provided them with water. When the snow on top of the mountain melts, the puebloan used that water for their crops. The Colorado River, San Juan River, and the Chaco River provided them water, to drink and for the crops.
