 Update: Hantavirus Disease -- United States, 1993
Since the recognition of acute hantavirus-associated respiratory disease in the United States in May 1993, laboratory evidence of acute hantavirus infection has been confirmed in 30 persons in the southwestern United States; 20 (67%) of these persons have died.

CDC is assisting state health departments in other investigations, including 1) a California man who had serologic evidence of past hantavirus infection following recovery from a hantavirus-compatible illness during April 1993 and 2) a 16-year-old Oregon youth in whom hantavirus antigen was identified by immunohistochemical staining of lung tissue saved from autopsy in July 1992.

The ancestral Puebloan homeland was centered in the Four Corners region of northwest New Mexico and northeast Arizona, and in adjacent areas of Colorado and Utah, where their occupation lasted until 1280 or so.
However, the absence of cliff dwellings before AD 1200-- and their sudden, widespread adoption throughout the Four Corners region after that date-- indicate other motivations for this change.
It was built around AD 1120 to 1130, when Puebloan groups were flourishing throughout the Four Corners region and trade among various groups was active.The pueblo shows typical Chaco-style architecture— a large rectangular room block enclosing living rooms, storage rooms, and a kiva.
