I20 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 82 



mony in which vessels of this description were used. It is reported 

 that the perforations were to hold flowers as in a modern flower 

 holder. 



Kokopnyama would give little encouragement to a pot hunter, and 

 the paucity of complete or restorable specimens was a blow to the 

 investigators since we had expected a nice collection of these excel- 

 lent wares as a by-product. Only one room, R-ii, contained un- 

 broken vessels, practically all other rooms either being filled with 

 refuse or containing nothing at all. Room R-14 will prove of value, 

 however, since it was filled with refuse containing a great quantity of 

 broken pottery vessels, the majority of which were Jeddito black-on- 

 orange. Associated with these specimens were a few late black-on- 

 white vessels, but none of the later Jeddito black-on-yellow ware was 

 found. This is the only occurrence of the orange ware found at 

 Kokopnyama in which it was not also associated with the yellow ware. 

 Many of these specimens are restorable, and it is expected that much 

 will be learned from a study of them. 



SUMMARY 



Briefly, the results of the 1929 work at Kokopnyama have con- 

 tributed to our knowledge of prehistoric Hopi culture, in that : 



(i) Details of dwelling rooms have been found similar to those of 

 modern Hopi pueblos, if Spanish and American influence is dis- 

 regarded ; 



(2) A knowledge of ceiling construction is gained and found to be 

 essentially the same as in historic Hopi structures ; 



(3) Three kivas, two completely and one partially excavated, fur- 

 nished data for comparison with ancestral (at Kin Tiel) and modern 

 Hopi types ; thus making it possible to have the evolutionary de- 

 velopment from 1276 A. D. (see Kin Tiel) to the present time; 



(4) Many beam specimens were acquired which, when dated, will 

 give approximate years for important stages of kiva development, 

 and associated pottery types ; 



(5) A determination was made of the definite time of decadence of 

 old and rise of new pottery types ; 



(6) Confirmation was obtained from stratigraphic evidence of pre- 

 historic Hopi pottery sequence as previously determined by other 

 means ; and 



(7) Much cultural material was acquired.
