Abstract

This paper represents the continuation of the research (from the planer’s view) on the American prehistoric settlements, but this time of the Southwest. The Southwest was a cradle for numerous cultures and communities which have left astonishing masterpieces of Places which they have erected between 7th and 13th century AD, in order to make their living easier in this arid and hot environment. Structural and location differences, along with author’s personal observation and experience, have been inter-compared and presented. The main conclusion for this research can be summarized in a few words: despite the lack of the written and calculus skills, they had the knowledge of how to observe the Universe above and make conclusions on sequences of celestial events through the design of their settlements.
