HAURIXGTOX] PLACE-NAMES 457 



This is the pueblo ruin ut the Painted Cave. Bandeliei- says 

 of it: 



Cave dwellings have been excavated in the rear wall of the cave, and 15 

 meters (4S feet) above the floor are indentations showing that chambere had 

 also been burrowed out at this heiglit. The s^teps therefore may have been 

 made in order to reach this upper tier of rooms; for it appeared to me that the 

 paintings were more recent than the cave village, as they are partially painted 

 over walls of former artificial cells, the coating of which had fallen off before 

 the pictographs were placed on tliem.' IMost of the cave dwellings are found 

 ou the west side of the Cueva Pintada. Some of them have two tiers; and 

 there are also traces of foundations in front of the cliff, showing that houses 

 had been built against the wall. Of the extent of this cave village it is difficult 

 to judge, but enough is left to indicate that it may liave contained a few hun- 

 dred ])e()ple. The pottery belonged to the oldest types; mostly white and 

 black, and corrugated. Much obsidian lay about in splinters and chips; also 

 door-sills of diorite, broken metates, grinders made of lava, and stone axes, — 

 in short, the usual " relics " accompanying pueblo ruins.'- 



Hewett saj's: 



At this place there was, besides the great ceremonial cave [28:"!], a small 

 ' cliff dwelling and talus settlement, corresponding in size to the clan houses of 

 the mesas. It could never have been more than a clan village, never ap- 

 proaching the size necessary to accommodate a large community like Cochiti.^ 



This ruin was mentioned to the present writer as the third 

 successive settlemeut inhabited and abandoned by the Cochiti on 

 their migration southward; see under [28:77]. See [28:31]. 



[29] SOUTHERN SHEET 



The entire area shown on [29] i.s outside of (south of) the Tewa 

 country proper, but the Tewa arc familiar with it and have current in 

 their language many names for places located therein. All the places 

 for which it has been possible to obtain Tewa names have been dealt 

 with, and also many others, although the same effort has not been 

 made as in the case of the other sheets, to give all the place-names 

 belonging to the region. 



Map [29] includes the whole or part of the area formerly held by 

 the Tano Tewa, Pecos, Southern Tiwa, Apache, Comanche, Keresan, 

 Jemez, Navaho, and Zufii Indians. For the range of these tribes or 

 linguistic groups see Handhook af Indians.

 a series of such symbols in some secluded spot near the site of the village. Whether this is true or not,
