For Teachers
Aztec Ruins provides many resources for teachers. Call the visitor center to reserve a traveling trunk of replica artifacts for use in your classroom. Stop by and ask about getting your own copy of the teacher's curriculum guide, full of readings and lesson plans. These lessons are also available to download and print from this website. Aztec Ruins is a great destination for a self-guided field trip. Click "Plan A Field Trip" for further information.   
Core and veneer wall  

Did You Know?
In places the walls at Aztec Ruins are three feet thick, making them over twice as thick as Mesa Verde cliff dwelling architecture. Masons used the “core and veneer” style, laying a thick rubble core within a finely shaped stone veneer. This style is typical of Chaco Canyon "great house" sites.
