	gallery of southwestern lands: Mesa Verde background description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		What is in the present day called Mesa Verde ("Green Table") National Park is an area containing many ruins of rock dwellings built into cliffs as well as on the flat surfaces of the upper mesa area.
		Within the park area itself, which occupies the northeast corner of the mesa (the majority of the mesa is on the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation), almost 4,000 sites have been identified, including over 600 cliff dwellings.
		From what was gathered during the visit, the people built the cliff dwellings--the most "famous" and frequently photographed locations in the area--apparently as a "retreat" from possibly an increasingly hostile setting and vulnerability that, living down in the valleys or up on the upper mesa, they became evermore subjected to.
