336 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1901. 



a cup, and bowl. The vase contained black and white beads of stone 

 and shell, tablets of red stone, and pottery ornaments all pierced for 

 stringing. Parts of a child's skull and femur were found near by, but 

 no bones were directly associated with the pottery, and extensive 

 diggings brought to light no other burials or remains at this place. 



Some work was done at Nesheptanga/* a ruin of fair size, in the 

 neighborhood of Kokopnyama, situated on the mesa about 100 yards 

 from Maupin's store. The buildings conform to the mesa edge toward 

 the west and the village terminates to the east in a wall crossing the 

 mesa. Fragments of fine yellow pottery are scattered over the ruin. 

 Burials were made among the rocks in debris from the village. The 

 cemetery among the rocks below the mesa had been dug out b}^ the 

 Navaho, and few specimens remained. Several smaller ruins a few 

 miles west of Nesheptanga were inspected. One of these of good size 

 is located on the mesa at the head of a long gulch leading into the 

 Jettyto Valley. The ware here is yellow and of good quality. A 

 smaller ruin in the same neighborhood showed fragments of large 

 napiform vases characteristic of Tusayan. The small sites showing 

 gray and red ware presented few features of interest. The ware is 

 coarse, and it is apparent that the inhabitants were poor. The pres- 

 ence of ruins of this class in Tusayan, however, is interesting. (See 

 p. 332.) 



The ruin called Lululongturqui, located across the Jettyto Valley 

 from Kokopnyama, was carefully examined, but not excavated. It is 

 of medium size and has a commanding situation on the mesa. The 

 mound stands high, and the village plan shows a rounded outline, 

 reminding one of some of the Canyon Butte ruins. Adjoining the 

 village in the north quarter are many oblong garden plots bounded 

 with lines of stones. It is an interesting fact that the pottery of this 

 ruin, while mostly gray and light red, has a fair proportion of fine 

 yellow, either indicating that the people making the red and gray ware 

 were contemporaneous with the makers of yellow ware or that the lat- 

 ter supplanted the former. Unfortunately the evidence of the graves 

 could not be obtained. The Hopi name of the ruin is worthy of 

 remark. Some work had been done here by the Navaho, and it 

 appears that burials had been disturbed close to the town walls. Two 

 small ruins with coarse red and gray Avare one-half mile east of this 

 ruin on a branch of the Jett\^to Wash were visited. These ruins had 

 been worked b}^ the Navaho and a few pieces of pottery taken out. 



OHAKPAKU. 



About midway between Kokopnyama and Kawaiokuh lies a very 

 large ruin called by the Hopi "Chakpahu," Speaker Spring. It is 

 located on a spur of the mesa and overlooks the Jettyto Valley and a 



"Mindeleff's "small ruin between Horn House and Bat House."
