HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 463 



Mexicanos que vivian en esta dha Uilla con el titulo de la acbocacion de su 

 Patron el Arcangel Sn. Miguel." In the Relaoion Anunima de la Reconquista 

 at page 141 we find 'Paso a la eapilla de San Miguel, (]ue antes servia de par- 

 roquia a los Indies TIaxcaltei-as. Escalante, in his letter to Padre Morfi saj's: 

 "Dia sitiaron a esta los Tanos de San Marcos, San Cristoval y Galisteo, los 

 Queres de la Cienega y los Pecos por la parte del sur, se apoderaron, de las 

 casas de los Indios Tlascaltecas, que vivian en el barrio de Analco y pegaron 

 fuego a la Capilla de San Miguel." It is comparatively easy, then, to see where 

 the word "Analco" came from; it was given to the place by the Mexican 

 Indians, the TIazcaltecas, who had been brought into the country by Onate 

 when he made his entrada in 1598. The nearest pueblos, actually occupied 

 when the Spaniards came to New Mexico, to the present city of Santa Fe, 

 were the Tehua [Tewa] village of Tesuque and the Tanos village at the Cienega, 

 which was called by the Indians Tzi-gu-ma. It is 12 miles southwest of Santa 

 Fe. There is no doubt in my mind that the so-called "oldest house" is of 

 Pueblo construction, but that does not prove that there w-as a pueblo Ijuilding 

 on the spot; it was likely nothing but a detached house, and was two stories 

 high. It was two stories high when I lived in Santa Fe, but was later cut 

 down to one story, as the top walls were crumbling away. The "Mexican 

 Indians" did not build two story houses, nor did they build houses having 

 opening in the top instead of the sides. The "oldest house" had its entrance 

 in the roof and the doors and windows now appearing are all of very late 

 construction. If the painting, embodj'ing Doctor Hewett's ideas, only shows 

 houses of the detached type, at this point, I think he will be not only prehis- 

 torically but historically correct.' 



Bandelier says of the archeology of the site of Santa Fe merely: 



They [the Tewa] also acknowledge that a Tanos village stood on the spot 

 [the site of Santa Fe] ; but this may possibly refer to the pueblo constructed 

 after 1680 by the Tanos from Galisteo [29:39], on the ruins of the old 'palace' 

 of Santa Fe. Nevertheless, I regard the fact that a Tanos [Tano] village also 

 existed here in prehistoric times as quite certain. ^ 



The present writer has inquired diligently among the Tewa con- 

 cerning ancient Indian villages at 8anta Fe. None of them know 

 any tradition of such villages having existed, or anything more 

 than the name of the site. They say that if there used to be one or 

 more Indian villages at the site in very ancient times they were of 

 course inhabited by the down-country Indians, or "Tano"(Z"ff?iH- 

 iowa<t'a 'to live'; nuU(, 'below' 'down country'; towa 'people' 

 'Indians'). See Tano under Names of Tribes and Peoples, 

 page 576. The Tewa know nothing of the name "Analco", nor 

 of Tlaxcaltec Indians. The latter were, it may be said, according 

 to the histories of ]\Iexico, one of the seven "Aztec"' tribes.
