The Basketmaker III era (500 to 750 CE) also called the "Modified Basketmaker" period, was the third period in which ancient Pueblo people were cultivating food, began making pottery and living in more sophisticated clusters of pit-house dwellings. Hunting was easier with the adoption of the bow and arrow.
The Basketmaker III era is preceded by the Late Basketmaker II era, and is followed by the Pueblo I era.
