Kin Kletso is a Chacoan
Anasazi great house and notable archaeological site located inChaco Canyon , a canyon in the U.S. state ofNew Mexico . It was a medium-sized complex located 0.5 miles (0.8 m) west of Pueblo Bonito; it shows strong evidence of construction and occupation by Pueblo peoples from the northern San Juan Basin. Its rectangular shape and design is related to the Pueblo II cultural group, rather than the Pueblo III style or its Chacoan variant. It contains around 55 rooms, four ground-floor kivas, and a two-story cylindrical tower that may have functioned as a kiva or religious center. Evidence of anobsidian production industry were discovered here. The village was erected between 1125 AD and 1130 AD.harvnb|Fagan|2005|p=11.]Etymology
