claim that the Sia had lived there before they moved to their present 
site. 
Site 241 yielded sherds of every group from A to F, inclusive, i.e., 
from the 13th to the 17th century. I did not obtain the Sia name of 
this ruin. 
Site 384 is a large ruin about 2.5 miles northwest of Sia. It was 
occupied from the 13th to the 17th century. The Sia name for this 
site is risa (dung), so named because of a great quantity of manure at 
this place. 
Site 392 was abandoned prior to A.D. 1400, according to Mera’s 
reckoning. The Sia name for this is Kéasaiya, which means “old 
ruins”’ (see also, Bandelier, 1892, p. 196). 
I have visited sites 384 and 392. No. 384 was a fairly large pueblo, 
apparently. On the site is a stone about 4 feet long whose natural 
shape suggests a horse. It had been smeared with red ocher, and 
other evidence made it quite clear that it is a sacred object visited 
ritually at the present time (1957).
