The Microsoft Bing quiz is: Mesa Verde National Park protects some of the best-preserved archaeological sites of the Ancestral Puebloans. What were the primary construction materials for the buildings there?

Options given are:

• A Bricks, sand, and ceramic
• B Sandstone, mortar, and wooden beams
• C Stone, lime, adobe

The correct answer for this bing quiz is Sandstone, mortar, and wooden beams.

To construct the pit houses, cliff dwellings, and kivas found in what is now Mesa Verde National Park, the Ancestral Puebloans often framed the structures with wooden beams. They then shaped sandstone using harder stones and held everything together with a mortar of soil, water, and ash.
