- Chetro Ketl is an Ancestral Puebloan great house and archeological site located in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, New Mexico, United States. Construction on Chetro Ketl began c. 990 and was largely complete by 1075, with significant remodeling occurring in the early and mid-1110s. Following the onset of a severe drought, most Chacoans emigrated from the canyon by 1140; by 1250 Chetro Ketl's last inhabitants had vacated the structure. The great house was rediscovered in 1823 by the Mexican governor of New Mexico, José Antonio Vizcarra, and in 1849 Lieutenant James Simpson of the United States Army Corps of Engineers documented the major ruins in Chaco Canyon. Edgar L. Hewett, the director of the first archeological field school in the canyon, conducted excavations of Chetro Ketl during 1920 and 1921, and again between 1929 and 1935. Chaco scholars estimate that it required more than 500,000 man-hours, 26,000 trees, and 50 million sandstone blocks to erect Chetro Ketl. The great house is a D-shaped structure; its east wall is 280 feet (85 m) long, and the north wall is more than 450 feet (140 m); the perimeter is 1,540 feet (470 m), and the diameter of the great kiva is 62.5 feet (19.1 m). Chetro Ketl contained approximately 400 rooms and was the largest great house by area in Chaco Canyon, covering nearly 3 acres (1.2 ha). Chetro Ketl lies 0.4 miles (0.64 km) from Pueblo Bonito, in an area that archeologists call downtown Chaco; they theorize that the area may be an ancestral sacred zone. Chetro Ketl contains architectural elements, such as a colonnade and tower kiva, that appear to reflect a Mesoamerican influence. Chetro Ketl's purpose is widely debated but many archeologists believe the building was a place of large-scale ceremony that held an important position within the larger Chacoan system. It may have been occupied primarily by groups of priests and, during times of ritual, pilgrims from outlying communities. Archeologist Stephen H. Lekson believes Chetro Ketl was a palace inhabited by Chacoan royalty, and the scale of its construction was motivated by what architects call "massing": building imposing structures with the intent to impress onlookers. The building has deteriorated significantly since its rediscovery in the early 19th century, and its usefulness as a source of information about Chacoan culture is slowly diminishing. (en)

- Chetro Ketl est une habitation des Anasazis et site archéologique dans le Chaco Canyon, dans l'État du Nouveau-Mexique, aux États-Unis. La construction a commencé vers 990 et est en grande partie achevé en 1075, avec un remodelage significatif au début et au milieu des années 1110. Après le début d'une grave sécheresse, la plupart des habitants ont émigré du canyon vers 1140 et en 1250, les derniers habitants de Chetro Ketl avaient quitté la structure. La grande maison a été redécouverte en 1823 par le gouverneur mexicain du Nouveau-Mexique, José Antonio Vizcarra, et en 1849, le lieutenant James Simpson du Corps des ingénieurs de l'armée des États-Unis a documenté les principales ruines du canyon. (en), le directeur de la première école de terrain archéologique dans le canyon, a mené des fouilles de Chetro Ketl en 1920 et 1921, et de nouveau entre 1929 et 1935. Chetro Ketl est immortalisé sur la pièce de monnaie du Nouveau-Mexique de la série de pièces américaines d'un quart de dollar America the Beautiful. (fr)

The map region has a green and blocky rectangular-crescent area at its center labeled Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Radiating from the green region are seven segmented gold lines: "[p]rehistoric roads", each several dozen kilometers in length when measured according to the map scale factor. Roughly seventy red dots mark the location of great house[s]; they are widely spread across the map, many of them far from the green area, near the extremes of the map, more than one hundred kilometers from the green area. Two proceed roughly south, one southwest, one northwest, one straight north, and the last to the southeast. Yellow dots mark the location of modern settlements: Shiprock, Cortez, Farmington, and Aztec to the northwest and north; Nageezi, Cuba, and Pueblo Pintado to the northeast and east; Grants, Crownpoint, and Gallup to the south and southwest. They are connected by a network of gray lines marking various interstate and state highways. A fan of thin blue lines along the northern margins of the map depict the San Juan River and its communicants. (en)

- They didn't abandon this place. It is still occupied. We can still pray to the spirits living in these places from as far away as our pueblo. The spirits are everywhere. Not just the spirits of our ancestors, but tree spirits and rock spirits. If you believe that everything has a spirit, you will think twice before harming anything. (en)
- Long ago in the north, below from the Place of Emergence, everybody came out. Now when those who are everyone's chiefs came out they all went out. They went down south ... They went along coming from the north, and they began to make towns. (en)
