Thanks to Renfield for the article.

Some new people arrived:

The Zuni Enigma

"Did a group of thirteenth-century Japanese journey to the American Southwest, there to merge with the people, language, and religion of the Zuni tribe?"

I thought the Anasazi crawled through some kind of trans-dimensional hole into a parallel universe.

A cascading series of complex events led to a very simple simple conclusion; the people lost faith in their leaders.

“Why you come to land of heart-ripping Aztec and fierce Yaqui?”

Looking fearfully over his shoulder, the chief said, “Man, there’s some mean sumbitches on my trail.”

“Archaeological evidence, in combination with some oral traditions among modern Pueblos, suggest that the Anasazi fled the region ........”

This is true in regards to oral tradition since the anasazi were cannibals so they did flee orally through each others mouth and out their sphincter.

I would say the simple climate change theory caused the complex factors the researchers found.

If the Spaniards hadn’t arrived when they did, we probably wouldn’t have any existing Pueblo cultures. They were in a state of decline and coming under attack by the newly arrived Athabaskan people. The Spaniards and their Mexican successors were barely able to sustain a civilization until the Americans came, and now that the Americans have established successful civilizations, the migrants that the Spanish and Mexicans could never get to come here, can’t be stopped. The story is still being written.

They moved north along the Chaco meridian from Chaco to Salmon, thence to Aztec and thence back south along the meridian past Chaco to Paquim. At each point they resumed governance over the San Juan River basin and the Colorado plateau

These movements occurred over hundreds of years.

the final population collapse within the region resulted from a complex set of environmental changes and societal pressures-including climate change

Too bad the Goracle wasn't around back then -

He could have convinced them it was Bush's fault...

Since the Navajo/Nadene language is a relative of those tribes much further to the north (like the Dakotas/Montana), the greater liklihood is that a northern tribe moved south following herds, found river valleys, and either conquered or married into local river agricultural tribes.
