In the America's with David Yetman
Ancient peoples of the Colorado Plateau
Season 10
Episode 1002
More than a thousand years before the arrival of Europeans in the southwestern U.S. native peoples were establishing their occupation of the Colorado Plateau, learning how to live in a climate where winters were bitter and summers torrid. And they left behind proof of their scientific and technological accomplishments in plain sight—with a little assistance from contemporary archaeologists.
