Offtopic but may be of interest: "Anasazi" is a Navajo word that means something like "ancient enemy". If you're not Diné (and perhaps even if you are!) it's a bit of a harsh moniker for a whole people.

Modern usage favours "Ancestral Puebloans" as the folk concerned are considered to be the ancestors of modern Puebloan peoples.

(Not suggesting you shouldn't say "Anasazi beans". Just thought it was interesting.)
