My ancestors were not the Anasazi. That's a derogatory term used by the Navajos. Current term is Ancestral Puebloans. Ancestors of the Hopi, the Zuni, the Tiwas, Tewas, Towas, and a few others, all which have preserved our histories. Function of the rooms and site are known, the names of who lived in what apartment is known for many cases, etc. The Chaco complex was multilingual. Some languages were isolates. Yes we had written language both in things written down long term, and in letters and accounts that were sent great distances. The written language, like Chinese, is not phonetic, and can be read by people from the culture across unrelated language families. Believe me, no western scientist, anthropologist or archaeologist is interested in the truth of any of this and we've all stopped offering or even bothering. Pretty much everything in the article above is wrong in some way. Even the thing he describes as a dividing wall is not at all, it's the side of an elevated set of structures. The NPS has models of what it used to look like in the visitor center that show his theory is totally incoherent. There's no way any competent guide would have told him it was a dividing wall. However there are many senile retired archaeologists and anthropologists from the old school of extreme ignorance and supremacy who work there during the summer as volunteer rangers and so he might have been told just about anything.
