HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 467 



west across the plain [Santa Fe plain [29: introduction]]. To the south is a 

 level expanse, ami on the north lies the arroyo, at a depth of nearly 50 meters. 

 The pueblo stands on the brink of the declivity, which is very steep, and a 

 spring rises at the bottom. For cultivation, the people of Kua-kaa had to re- 

 sort to the plain around their village, since irrigation is impossible, either 

 below orabove. This pueblo bears the marks of long abandonment; tlie mounds 

 are flat and at most 2 meters (6 feet) high, or generally lower. The Tanos 

 claim that it was pre-Spanish, and documentary evidence as well as the nature 

 of the objects found there corroborates the statement.' 



Information kindly furnished by Mr. H. C. Yontz, of Santa 

 Fe, agrees with that given by Bandelier. See [29:17], [29 :!!•], 

 and Kunfif^'qijioikejl [29:unlocated]. 

 [29:19] East ruin of Tano Tewa "Kua-kaa or Kua-kay."^ See under 



[29:18]. 

 [29:20] (1) Eng. Cieneguilla .settlement. (<Span.). = Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Cieneguilla 'little marsh' 'little marshy meadow.' 

 = Eng. (1). Where the marshy place is from which this settle- 

 ment was named has not been learned. Cieneguilla is perhaps 

 derived from the name of Cienega settlement [29:21], rather than 

 from the presence of a small marshy place at the spot. The 

 writer has not succeeded in getting either a Tewa or a Cochiti 

 Indian name for the place. 



Cieneguilla and Cienega [29:21] were located on the map by a 

 Mexican who lives at Cieneguilla. The latter is located on 

 Santa Ee Creek [29:8] on a map of the United States (Geo- 

 graphical Surveys West of the One Hundredth Meridian.^ 

 This map does not, however, show Cienega [29:21]. Bandelier 

 sa^'s of Cieneguilla: "Cieneguilla, 12 miles southwest of Santa 

 Fe''* and "Cieneguilla on the eastern base of the high raesa of 

 the Tetilla [29:4], 9 miles to the east [of La Bajada [29:27]]. "^ 

 Bandelier does not say whether Cieneguilla is or is not situated 

 on Santa Fe Creek [29:8], but implies that Cienega [29:21] is so 

 situated: "The first named [Santa Fe Creek [29:8]] 'sinks' twice: 

 between Agua Fria [29:14], southwest of Santa Fe [29:5], and 

 the Cienega [29:21]":" and "returning now to the Cienega 

 [29:21], and following the course of the Santa Fe River [29:8] 

 westward through the pass of the Bocas [29:2.5]."^ Hewett^ 

 locates Cieneguilla [29:20] on Santa Fe Creek [29:8] and Cienega 

 [29:21] on the lower course of Arroyo Hondo Creek [29:17], as 

 has been done on [29], but appears to call Arroyo Hondo Creek
