The Late Anasazi tradition is located in northern Arizona and New Mexico and southern New Mexico from 700-450 BP. The people lived in pueblo villages varying from a single household up to 2000 people, usually housed in multistoried apartment-like structures grouped around an open plaza used for public ceremonies. Secret ceremonies were conducted in kivas and included masked Katsina dancers. Villages were clustered into regional systems, but trade was mainly between individuals and households and included long-distance down-the-line exchange up to 2000 km. Subsistence was a mix of horticulture, agriculture, hunting, and foraging of wild plants. Migrations, abandonments and spatial redistribution of communities that began in the Early Anasazi tradition continued throughout this tradition. Conflict and warfare were widespread during this period.
