338 ETHNOGEOGRAPHY OF THE TEWA INDIANS [etu. a.nn. 29 



It will be noticed that the first edition of the Handhook (1910), 

 owing probably to the mention of San Juan informants in Bande- 

 lier's sentence, is doubly in error in indii-ating tlie location of the 

 ruin on the south slope at San Juan when in reality it is on the 

 north slope at Pojoaque. 



The ruin lies on the nearly level hilltop, which slopes slightly 

 toward Pojoaque Creek. It overlooks the creek, from which it 

 is separated by a precipitous hillside. The land on which the 

 ruin is situated belongs to Mr. Camillo Martinez, who lives near 

 San Ildefonso Pueblo. The ruin consists of mounds of adobe. 

 It measures 138 paces in an east-west direction and 131 in a north- 

 south direction. The Tewa say that it had once a large popula- 

 tion. The pueblo has certainly not been inhabited in historic 

 times. Informants say it was a Tewa pueblo, but what became 

 of its inhabitants they do not know.

 Miguel; kqhu\i 'arroyo with barrancas' <ko 'barranca', hii'u 

 'large groove' 'arroyo'). (<Span.) Cf. Span. (2). 



(2) Arroyo Miguel ' Michael's arroyo '. Cf . Tewa (1). Why 

 the name is given is not known.

Nambe Kq'^rjfqwi^rjge 'place down at the tail of the American bison' 

 {ko'^rjj' 'American bison or buffalo"; qivseijf 'tail*; Q.e 'down at' 

 ' over at '). 



The place known by this name is somewhere east of Tesuque 

 Creek [21:21] and near Callamonguo settlement [21:25]. 

 Nambe Soqwiwl'i 'bridle gap' {soqwi 'bridle' <so 'mouth', qwi 

 'cord' 'fiber'; wn 'gap'). 



This 'gap' is situated somewhere in the northeastern part of 

 the sheet. The name must have originated since the introduction 

 of the horse. 



[22] SANTA FE MOUNTAIN SHEET 



The mountains east of the Tewa country are shown on this 

 sheet (map 22). These mountains are called by the Tewa 

 T^anipije^P^piyf 'eastern mountains' {fqmpije 'east' <t''qi]f 

 'sun', pije 'toward'; H'^ locative and adjective-forming postfix; 

 fWf 'mountain'). The Americans call them, especially the range 

 west of the Pecos River [22:62], the Santa Fe Mountains; see spe- 

 cial treatment of Santa Fe Mountains [Large Features:?] Most 

 of the place-names were obtained from Indians of Nambe, who are 

 better acquainted with the region than are those of the other Tewa
