Antelope House Ruin is a Kayenta Anasazi ruin in the Canyon de Chelly. It is named for the rock paintings of antelope. It was occuped from 1050 AD to 1270 AD. The decedents are probably the Hopi people. There were 91 rooms in two main buildings and two or three large kivas and some smaller ones. When place was the Navajo moved in and raised sheep and corn on the valley floor the place was abandoned. That was probably in the 1500-1600s but perhaps much earlier. They did not touch the ruins because of cultural beliefs about the polluting, sickening and taboo aspects of the dead.
