No. 12. — This is a small pueblo ruin of the older t}^e, situated on a 

 lower bench just north of Tsankawi mesa, about half a mile south of 

 the Alamo. The walls are entirely reduced. This site belongs to 

 the same class and epoch as no. 9 and 11. 



No. 13. Sandia. — This village is situated on a high mesa between 

 the Sandia and Bear canyons and is one of the most commanding 

 sites in Pajarito park. The pueblo was small, compactly built, form- 

 ing a complete rectangle (fig. 8). It was

No. IJf.. Navawi C' place of the hunting trap "). — Beginning about a 

 mile and a half south of Tsankawi, the aspect of the country changes. 

 From the Pajarito canyon to Rito de los Frijoles, a distance of perhaps 

 ten miles, the high abrupt narrow tongue-like mesas protruding toward 

 the river with broad timbered valleys between are replaced by one 

 great table-land, the Mesa del Pajarito, which at first sight appears 

 to be one continuous expanse only partially covered with piiion, 

 cedar, and juniper. It is, however, deeply cut at frequent intervals 

 by narrow and absolutely impassable canyons. Toward the northern 

 limit of this level expanse, about two and a half miles southeast of 

 Tsankawi, is situated the ruin of Navawi. It belongs to the same 

 class and epoch as Otowi, Tsankawi, and Tshirege. It consists of two 

 large buildings about 200 yards apart (fig. 9), several clan houses on 

 the level mesa near by, and a cliff -village of considerable extent in the 

 face of the low mesa to the south and west. On the narrow neck of 

 mesa about 300 yards west of the pueblo, at the convergence of four 

 trails, is a game-trap (nava) from w^hich the village takes its name. 

 This is one of a number of pitfalls that have been discovered at points 

 in this region where game trails converged. One of the best of these 

 is that at Navawi. It was so placed that game driven down the mesa 

 from toward the mountains or up the trail from either of two side
