Agate House Pueblo, Archaeological site in Petrified Forest National Park, US.
The eight-room pueblo structure incorporates large segments of petrified wood set in clay mortar, forming walls that rise five feet in height.
Between 1050 and 1300, Ancestral Puebloan people constructed this dwelling near agricultural fields, establishing a permanent residence for a single family.
The structure represents early Puebloan architectural methods, demonstrating the resourceful use of local materials for building permanent settlements in the region.
Visitors can reach Agate House through a two-mile round trip trail from Rainbow Forest Museum parking lot, with the first half-mile featuring paved surfaces.
The walls contain pieces of agatized wood instead of traditional sandstone, making it an exceptional example of adaptation to local material availability.
