No. 11. — This ruin is situated in Canyon de los Alamos on a high 

 ridge running parallel with the stream on its south side. It is about 

 three-quarters of a mile west of Tsankawi and its inhabitants even- 

 tually merged with the population of that village. The settlement 

 consisted of one rectangular pueblo of considerable size and a number 

 of small clan houses scattered along the ridge to the west for about 

 half a mile. It belongs to the older class of ruins.
