HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 201 



[9:20] Nameless arroyo. The San Juan informant could not remem- 

 ber its name. 



[9:27] Nameless jiueblo ruin. 



Many fragments of Indian pottery are strewn here on the grouiid. 

 Part of a wall composed of adobe bricks was found at the place. 

 The site is an open plain. It is not certain that this is the ruin 

 of an Indian pueblo. The San Juan informant could not remem- 

 ber the name of this ruin, but said that he had heard the name of 

 either this or another ruin somewhere in this vicinity. It may 

 be that this is PopoWqijwikejl; see under [9:unlocated]. Mr. 

 Juan de Dios Romero, whose home is in this region, told the 

 writer that he knows of Mexicans finding Indian metates at a 

 place not far from the river and about midway between [9:27] 

 and [9:34]. There used to be two Mexican houses at the place 

 where the metates were found, but nobody lives there now.
