Living here, how would you find the essentials you need to survive? With all the colorful petrified wood, at least you would have a seemingly, endless supply of construction material for your home.
Originally built with agatized wood blocks and mud mortar, Agate House likely housed a single family sometime between 1050 and 1300, during the Late Pueblo II-Pueblo III Periods. The scarcity of artifacts suggests a relatively brief occupation. Due to its relatively large size, Agate House may have served as a central gathering place.
