XIV BTTREAU OF AMERICAN KTHNOLOOY 



between the Tusayan and Zuiii groups of puel^los, this ruin 

 has for a number of years been a problem to investigators 

 in this iiehl; but the researches of Dr Fewkes show quite 

 conclusively that the art remains unearthed resemble more 

 closely those of Halona, Heshotautlila, and other ancient Zuni 

 villages than those of the jjrehistoric pueblos of Tusayan. 

 Excavations were conducted in the cemetries, as well as in the 

 ruin of the village, and in each an interesting collection of 

 jjottery and of bone and stone implements was unearthed. 



Fully satisfied with the results at this point, Dr Fewkes 

 returned to the railroad, and from Holbrook proceeded to the 

 vicinity of Pinedale, near the northern border of the White 

 Mountain Apache reservation, where another interesting col- 

 lection of objects was made. Although the ruins from which 

 they were recovered are more remote from the present Tusa- 

 yan villages than are those of Kintiel, they are more closely 

 similar in form and in symbolic decoration to ancient Tusayan 

 art jiroducts tlian are the specimens obtained from the latter 

 place. 



Excavations were next conducted in some interesting- ruins 

 about four miles west of Snowflake, which, like those of Pine- 

 dale, were hitherto unknown to archaeologists. Researches at 

 this point extended over a period of a fortnight, being con- 

 ducted both in the house ruins and in the cemeteries north 

 and southwest thereof An unusually large collection of fictile 

 ware, as well as a very interesting but smaller collection ot 

 bone, stone, and shell objects, was here obtained. By the 

 middle of August Dr Fewkes returned with his party to Hol- 

 brook and proceeded thence to the Tusayan villages, where 

 he made observations supplementary to those conducted in pre- 

 vious years in connection with the Snake dance and related 

 ceremonies. 



During September Dr Fewkes visited that part of the upper 

 Gila valley called Pueblo Viejo, and examined certain ruins 

 in that region which were discovered and described by Emory 

 and Johnston in 1846. He conducted archaeological work in 

 mounds near Solomonville and San Jose de Pueblo ^"iejo, and 

 collected several hundred objects from these localities. These 

 ruins were found to bear close architectural resemblance to
