Answer:

Dendrochronologists study tree rings to learn about past climates. Trees in temperate areas form one growth ring per year. Scientists can look at the rings and identify climate conditions during each year of the tree’s life. Scientists found long droughts in both the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. This is the same period when the Anasazi were leaving Chaco Canyon. Under normal conditions it was hard to support their villages in the harsh environment of northern New Mexico. When years of drought occurred, the densely populated Anasazi pueblos could no longer raise enough food. Other forces could have pushed the Anasazi away from Chaco as well.

</span><span>110 Million - Fossils of Sauroposeidon proteles, a 60-ton, 60-foot tall dinosaur, were found in 1994 near Antlers, Okla.

</span><span>AD 900-1400 - Farming and hunting people from this time in Oklahoma prehistory settled along major rivers and creeks. They planted corn, beans and squash in the fertile flood plains, hunted bison and deer, and fished and gathered mussels from the rivers. Four of these cultures have been defined in western and southern Oklahoma. Since we have no written records from this time, the names of these cultures are unknown. When early Spanish explorers came in the 1500's, they found people who called themselves the Teyas and the Escanjaques. Perhaps the people discussed here also used these names several hundred years earlier. Archeologists believe the Teyas and Escanjaques are descendants of the people discussed on these pages. They are all believed to have been Caddoan speakers.
