English term

cliff hangings

English to Spanish Other Construction / Civil Engineering Cliff Dwellings
Some Native Americans built cliff dwellings. These were built in the Southwest. The houses were made near or under cliff hangings. They climbed into the house through a ladder. When they took the ladder away, nobody could get in from the outside.

salientes de los acantilados

Hangings aquí significa overhangs:

"The cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde are some of the most notable and best preserved in the North American Continent. Sometime during the late 1190s, after primarily living on the mesa top for 600 years, many Ancestral Pueblo people began living in pueblos they built beneath the overhanging cliffs."

"Destacan las construcciones realizadas en cuevas y bajo salientes de los acantilados"

agree Carolina Gazzaneo : Given the context, it makes no sense that the cliff hangings refer to the "refugios" themselves. I believe this is the right translation.

refugios en el acantilado

Viviendas en el risco. Cuevas en el farallón.
