This is the pueblo ruin on the high mesa-top nearest to Jemez 

 Springs [27 :1S]. It was at this i-uin that excavation was conducted 

 jointly by the Bureau of American Ethnology and the Scliool of 

 American Aixha^ology in the summer of 1911. By mistake this 

 ruin has been confused by some persons with [27:23]. The name 

 given above was obtained from four Jemez Indians independently.

 the high mesa overlooking Jemez Hot Springs [27:18]"." 



Of the traditional origin of the people of Amy.f'ij.lcwd Bandelier
