Kin Kletso (Yellow House) Kin Kletso is a medium-sized Great House in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. Kin Kletso has about 55 rooms, four kivas, and a tower kiva. Evidence of a bead manufacturing workshop has been uncovered during excavations. Beads made from turquoise, shale and shells have been uncovered. The turquoise may have come from a mine near the present-day town of Cerillos, New Mexico which is in the hills south of Santa Fe—a distance of over 115 miles! Was there a sun watching station atop the two story kiva at Kin Kletso? A large boulder was incorporated into the west side of this Great House. The two story kiva atop the boulder offers a 16 to 17 day advance notice of the approaching winter solstice. Kin Kletso may have been built around a pre-existing sun-watching station atop this boulder. | Pueblo Bonito | Casa Rinconada | Chetro Ketl | Tsin Kletzin | Pueblo Alto | Pueblo Del Arroyo | Kin Kletso | | Home | CHARACTERS | TO ORDER | Contact Us | THE NOVEL | GREAT HOUSES | CHACO CANYON | CELESTIAL EVENTS | Event Calendar | Together and Free | |
