Owned by Chase Pipes and located below the Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, Tennessee, the Smoky Mountain Relic Room is a repository for many artifacts, minerals, fossils, and other items. It prioritizes the legality and ownership of its products. One notable achievement of the Smoky Mountain Relic Room is the unearthing of the ruins belonging to the Ancestral Puebloans, such as their granaries.

The Ancestral Puebloans were Native Americans living around 1400 years ago in the Four Corners region of the Southwestern US. They were famous for their unique adobe and sandstone dwellings, including pit houses for small families, communal structures, and grand puebloans for housing clans. Mesa Verde National Park's impressive cliff dwellings were renowned, built in sheltered cliff alcoves for defense.

The Ancestral Puebloans excelled in economic activities, such as hunting, gathering, trade, and agriculture, with common products being squash, beans, and corn. Historians discovered the ingenious granaries Puebloans used to store these food supplies. The Puebloans designed the granaries to protect the supplies from water, rodents, and other potential hazards. The granaries' structure included stacked stones or rocks and a circular shape for even weight distribution and stability. The Puebloans covered the tops with caps to shield rough weather. Their location in overhanging cliffs also provided natural shelter.

The Ancestral Puebloan granaries' design showcased the Puebloans' engineering prowess in building structures that could withstand the test of time. Present-day historians stress the weight of safeguarding the buildings' integrity to allow future generations to learn from them and perpetuate their narrative.
