File:Mesa Verde Pueblo II Post and Adobe Village.jpg

This reconstruction is purely conjectural as too little was left of the original outline of the village to give the artist more than a vague impression of what might once have been the arrangement of the row, or rows, of rooms. Lines were projected from one row of posts to another, then ground plans of other excavated post and adobe villages were studied. By this method, a plan was arrived at which seemed to incorporate most known features of these early structures.
