HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 511 



See [29:70], [29:81], [29:82]. 

 [29:81] (1) Eng. Tejon settlement. (<Span.). = Span. (2). 

 ('>) Span. Tejon 'badger'. =Eno-. (1). "Tejon''.' 

 This small Mexican settlement is located from the map above 

 referred to. It gives the name to the arroyo [29:80]. Bandelier 

 saj's of it: 



But the soil is fertile, and at the present day the people of Tejon raise good 

 crops with the aid of summer rains alone . . . Even to-day, people at the Tejon 

 sleep out of doors in summer, as do most of the Puehlos while out on the ran- 

 chos. The house (or shanty) is only used for cooking, for sheltering the tools 

 and household articles, and in the case of rain or exceptionally cool weather.^ 



See [29:80], [29:82]. 

 [29:82] (l)Tano Tewa "Tung-ke".' "Tung-ge".* Given as mean- 

 ing 'village of the basket'.'^ See also Span. (2), below, which 

 contains evidently forms of the Tewa name. None of the 

 writer's Tewa informants know this pueblo ruin by any name 

 other than Span. Tunque. Whether Bandelier's Tewa form 

 is the real name of the village or merely the result of an 

 attempt on the part of Bandelier's informants to etymologize 

 Span. Tunque, can not be determined. Ty,i]f is the most inclusive 

 Tewa word meaning 'basket.' Tewa tij^yfje would mean 'down at 

 the basket' 'down in the basket' {g.e 'down at' 'over at'), and 

 might well be used as a place-name. 



(2) Span. Tunque. Probably from Tano Tewa. See Tewa (1), 

 above. "Que" for ge appears in several Hispanized Tewa place- 

 names, as Pojoaque [21:29] (<Tewa Po.sur)W!eg.e), Tesuque [26:8] 

 (<Tewa T\i,nt'ag.e). For the phonetics of the name cf. also [13:27]. 

 "Pueblo de Tunque" ." "Tunque".' " El Tunque".' 



The ruin has been located for the writer by Mr. A. J. Frank of 

 Albuquerque, New Mexico, who owns a brick manufacturing plant 

 at the site. He says that the ruin lies on high land between [29 :70] 

 and [29:80], as shown on [29]. Mr. Frank has removed a portion 

 of the ruin to make room for his brick plant. It seems uncer- 

 tain whether the ruin is prehistoric or historic. The modern 

 Tewa have as profound ignorance in regard to it as they have 

 about the Tano pueblo ruins in general. Bandelier says: 



Whether the large ruin called El Tunque, three miles north of the Tejon 

 [29:81], at the northeastern extremity of the Sandia chain [29:83], must be
