44 TWO summers' work in pueblo B0IN8 [ETH. ANN. 22 



Near tliis ruin, at the base of the hill, are four walled inelosures, 

 one above another, suggesting terraced gardens. Their low walls are 

 composed of alternate rows of lava and sandstone. Near these former 

 gardens is a depression which may once have been a reservoir. This 

 ruin is the only one visited which was not built on an elevated mesa 

 at or near the edge of a canyon. 



EUINS B, C, AND D / 



There are remains of three houses, built of lava and sandstone 

 blocks, on a small lava hill a few hundn>(l feet north of the Citadel. 

 On the same elevation there is a circular wall which may have served 

 as a fortification. Most of the walls of the ruins have fallen, and it 

 is almost impossible to determine the relationship of the former 

 rooms. There are also some small ruins on a lava hill near the 

 elevation on which b, C, and D are situated. 



RUINS E AND P 



A considerable distance from the last-mentioned cluster, but in the 

 same ilirection from the Citadel, there are situated two conspicuous 

 ruins visible from a considerable distance. One of these, on the top 

 of a lava mesa, is built of the same material of which the mesa is 

 composed; the other, situated at its base, is constructed of red sand- 

 stone. Near the latter, on a lava mesa, there are many j^ictographs, 

 representing spirals, frogs, snakes, and unknown figures. There is 

 much broken pottery near ruin F. 



RUINS G, H, I, AND J 



These ruins, especially G, H, and .1 delates viii-xi), are constructed 

 of limestone, and are situated on the brink of a canyon, at the bottom 

 of which, near ruin (J, are mounds indicating the site of I. The 

 walls of G, H, and J are well preserved, and show some of the best 

 aboriginal masonry in Arizona. 



Ruin G (plate Vlil) had two rooms with walls rising 20 feet from the 

 rim of the canyon. The lower courses of the walls are much larger 

 than the upi^er, as is true of others in this neighborhood. The level 

 of the floors is indicated by courses of larger stones. 



Ruin J (plates x, Xi, figure 5) is the best preserved of all the ruins 

 in group A, and presents exceptional features. It is situated on the 

 left wall of ii canyon which is about 40 feet deep and equally wide. 

 It deepens and widens east of the ruin, and then narrows, forming a 

 natural corral inclosed by cliffs. Eight good rooms were noted in that 

 ])art of the ruin situated on the top of the canyon wall, and in the 

 canyon below it there were several semicircular basal rooms, some of 

 which were sheltered by an overhanging cliff. Similarly sheltered 

 rooms are found in many of the ruins in this neighborhood, but 

 nowhere el.se are they so well preserved. There are no beams in
