HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 523 



I was unable to detect any estufaa, yet it is )>y no means certain that there 

 were none outside the dwellings; the ground is covered with rubbish, and the 

 circular depressions might have escaped my notice or have become filled up; 

 or they may have been built inside among the rooms. The foundations show 

 rubble and adobe, and most of the walls are of the latter material. Their 

 thickness varies from 0.17 to 0.H8 m. (7 to 15 inches), and the average size 

 of 55 rooms is 4.1 by 2.8 m. (12 J by 8 J feet). 



The potter}' is largely of the type with coarsely glazed decorations, and I 

 saw no corrugated fragments; but common cooking pottery, plain black, was 

 also well represented. Much obsidian, moss-agates, chips of flint and lava, 

 broken metates and 'raauos', and a few bits of turquoise were the other 

 objects lying about on the surface. Tlie site also bears the Spanish name 

 of ' Torreon ' ; but I saw no trace of a round tower, as the designation would 

 imply.'

 [29:98] Nameless pueblo ruin on the west side of the Rio Grande a 

 short distance south of the wagon bridge [29 :122]. 



The writer has seen this ruin, but made no notes on it and ob- 

 tained no information about it from Indians. Bandelier says of it: 



South of the bridge [29:122] a short distance from Kuaua [29:97], on a 

 rather elevated dune, are low mounds covered with bits of pottery, obsidian 

 and rubljle. One of them forms a hollow quadrangle about .SO meters square 

 .(95 feet), and 300 feet south of it are two others. The mounds show great 

 decay in both places, as if they were the ruins of houses much older than those 

 of Kuaua [29:97].^ 



See [29:96], [29:97], [29:99], [29:122], [29:123]. 

 [29:99] (1) Southern Tiwa (Sandia-Isleta language) "Puaray'", etc. 

 The etymology is given by Vetancurt (1696 (0)-^ "El nombre 

 Puray quiere decdr gusanos, que es un genero de qite abunda 

 aquel lugar." Bandelier^ comments on this: "Whether by 

 'gusano' a worm or a beetle, a centipede or a julus, is meant, I 

 cannot tell. 1 noticed at the ruins of Kuaua [29:97] a number 

 of Coleoptera of a singular species, which attracted my attention 

 the more, as beetles are scarce in New Mexico." "Poala".^ 

 "Puala"." "Pualas".^ "Puala".^ "Puaray"." "Puanii".'" 

 "Puruai"." "Puary'\'= "Puray ".'-^ "Paray"." "Pauray"."
