White] THE PUEBLO OF SIA, NEW MEXICO 97 
There were 400 tracts of land comprising 1,038 acres in the area 
shown in figure 11. Three hundred eighty-five tracts (96 percent of 
the total) comprising 844 acres (81 percent of the total) were held by 
individuals. The rest was community land: 15 tracts comprising 195 
acres. Of the 400 tracts, 378 (94.5 percent) were cultivated, 16 tracts 
(4 percent) were not cultivated, 4 tracts (1.5 percent) were dry farmed. 
Of the 1,038 acres, 799 acres (77 percent) were cultivated, 183 (18 
percent) were not cultivated, and 57 acres (5 percent) were dry farmed. 
Of the 385 tracts held by individuals, 364 (94.6 percent) were 
cultivated, 16 (4.1 percent) were not cultivated, 5 (1.3 percent) were 
dry farmed. Of the 15 tracts of community land, 14 were cultivated, 
1 was dry farmed. Of the 844 acres of individual holdings, 619 (73.4 
percent) were cultivated, 183 acres (21.7 percent) were not cultivated, 
and 41 (4.9 percent) were dry farmed. Of the 195 acres of community 
land, 179 (92 percent) were cultivated, 15.33 (8 percent) were dry 
farmed. We thus see that a very large percentage of the land is 
cultivated. 
The size of tracts is small. The average size of all tracts held by 
individuals is 2.3 acres; the average size of cultivated tracts held by 
individuals is only 1.7 acres. Individually held cultivated tracts 
range in size from 0.1 acre to 15.21 acres. Of the 364 individually 
held cultivated tracts, 64 (17.6 percent) contain 0.5 acre or less; 
156 (42.9 percent) contain 1.0 acre or less; 116 (31.9 percent) range 
from 1.1 acres to 2.0 acres; 45 (12.3 percent) range from 2.1 to 3.0 
acres in size. Thus, in 87.2 percent of the cultivated tracts each 
contains 3.0 acres or less; 8.2 percent (30 tracts) each ranges from 
3.1 to 5.0 acres. Only 17 tracts contain more than 5 acres each; 
only 3 exceed 10 acres each in size. The largest tract contains 15.21 
acres. One of the tracts of ‘“noncultivated”’ land contains 148.62 
acres; no other tract of any kind can compare with this in size. 
Seventy-four persons hold 385 tracts of land, or an average of 5.2 
tracts per person. These 74 persons hold 844 acres of land, or an 
average of 11.4 acres per person. With regard to cultivated land, 74 
persons hold 364 tracts, totaling 619 acres, or an average of 4.9 tracts, 
8.4 acres, per person. The number of tracts held by individuals 
ranges from 1 to 14: 15 persons hold 1 tract only; 8 persons hold 2 
or 3 tracts each; 6 hold 4; 8, 5; 10, 6; 5, 7; 2, 8; 4, 9; 2, 10; 1, 11; 
1, 12; 1, 13; and 3 hold 14, each. Thus, 31 persons hold 3 tracts or 
less each; 55 of the 74 holders have 6 tracts or less each; only 6 persons 
hold more than 10 tracts each. 
Individual holdings of cultivated land range from 0.18 acres to 
56.21 acres. Of the 74 landholders, 9 have 1 acre or less each; 24 
have 3.0 acres or less each; 7 have between 3.1 and 5.0 acres each; 
23 have between 5.1 and 10.0 acres each; 7, between 10.1 and 15.0
