Black Mesa has an important history in the resistance to the Spanish in 1692.
Puye Cliff Dwellings at Santa Clara - yes, you can climb the face of the cliff or take a van ride to the top of the Mesa.
Newest part of the dwellings are on top of the mesa and would have been two and three story buildings.
During the archeological restoration of the site, this building was reconstructed to show how the construction from volcanic stone was done.
Entrances are small to help with defense from invading tribes who wanted the Pueblo's food.
The buildings have long vanished from the cliff face.
