50 PUEBLO ARCHITECTURE. 
court, the fourth or southeast side—later occupied by the mission build- 
ings—being left open, or protected only by a low wall. Outside the 
rectangle of the main pueblo, on the northeast side, are two fragments 
of rude masonry, built by Navajo sheep herders. Near the west corner 
of the pueblo are the vestiges of two rooms, outside the pueblo proper, 
which seem to belong to the original construction. 
Awatubi is said to have had excavated rectangular kivas, situated 
in the open court, similar to those used in the modern village. The peo- 
ple of Walpi had partly cleared out one of these chambers and used it 
asa depository for ceremonial plume-sticks, ete., but the Navajo came and 
carried off their sacred deposits, tempted probably by their market value 
as ethnologic specimens. No trace of these kivas was visible at the 
time the ruins were surveyed. 
The Awatubi are said to have had sheep at the time the village was 
destroyed. Some of the Tusayan point out the remains of a large sheep 
corral near the spring, which they say was used at that time, but it is 
quite as likely to have been constructed for that purpose at a much later 
date. 
HORN HOUSE. 
The Horn House is so called because tradition connects this village 
with some of the people of the Horn phratry of the Hopituh or Tusayan. 
The ruin is situated on a projecting point of the mesa that forms the 
western flank of Jeditoh Valley, not far from where the Holbrook road 
to Keam’s Canyon ascends the brink of the mesa. The village is almost 
completely demolished, no fragment of standing wall remaining in place. 
Its general plan and distribution are quite clearly indicated by the usual 
low ridges of fallen masonry partly covered by drifted sand. There is 
but little loose stone seattered about, the sand having filled in all the 
smaller irregularities. 
It will be seen from the plan, Pl. vu, that the village has been built 
close to the edge of the mesa, following to some extent the irregularities 
of its outline. The mesa ruin at this point, however, is not very high, 
the more abrupt portion having a height of 20 or 30 feet. Near the 
north end of the village the ground slopes very sharply toward the east 
and is rather thickly covered with the small stones of fallen masonry, 
though but faint vestiges of rooms remain. In plan the ruin is quite 
elongated, following the direction of the mesa. The houses were quite 
irregularly disposed, particularly in the northern portion of the ruin. 
But here the indications are too vague to determine whether the houses 
were originally built about one long court or about two or more smaller 
ones. The south end of the pueblo, however, still shows a well defined 
court bounded on all sides by clearly traceable rooms. At the extreme 
south end of the ruin the houses have very irregular outlines, a result 
of their adaptation to the topography, as may be seen in the illustration. 
The plan shows the position of a small group of cottonwood trees, 
just below the edge of the mesa and nearly opposite the center of the
