The arrangement suggests a large principal court of irregular form. 
The surrounding clusters are very irregularly disposed, the directions 
of the prevailing lines of walls greatly varying in different groups. 
There is a suggestion also of several smaller courts, as well as of alley- 
ways leading to the principal one. 
The church, built on the plain below at a distance of about 200 feet 
from the main village, seems to have been surrounded by several groups 
of rooms and inclosures of various sizes, differing somewhat in character 
from those within the village. These groups are scattered and open, 
and the small amount of débris leads to the conclusion that this portion 
of the village was not more than a single story in height. (PI. XLv11.) 
The destruction of the village has been so complete that no vestige 
of constructional details remains, with the exception of a row of posts 
in a building near the church. The governor of Zuni stated that these 
posts were part of a projecting porch similar to those seen in connection 
with modern houses. (See Pls, LXX1, LXxy.) Suggestions of this feature 
are met with at other points on the plain, but they all occur within the 
newer portion of the village around the church. Some of the larger 
inclosures in this portion of the village were very lightly constructed, 
and cover large areas. They were probably used as corrals. Inclosures 
for this purpose occur at other pueblos traditionally ascribed to the same 
age. 
The church in this village was constructed of adobe bricks, without 
the introduction of any stonework. The bricks appear to have been 
molded with an unusual degree of care. The massive angles of the 
northwest, or altar end of the structure, have survived the stonework 
of the adjoining village and stand to-day 13 feet high. (Pl. xLvmit.) 
KETCHIPAUAN, 
The small village of Ketchipauan appears to have been arranged about 
two courts of unequal dimensions. It is difficult to determine, however, 
how much of the larger court, containing the stone church, is of later 
construction. (PI. XLrx.) 
All the northwest portion. of the village is now one large inclosure or 
corral, whose walls have apparently been built of the fallen masonry 
from the surrounding houses, leaving the central space clear. This wall 
on the northeast side of the large inclosure apparently follows the jogs 
and angles of the original houses. This may have been the outer line of 
rooms, as traces of buildings occur for some distance within it. On the 
opposite side the wall is nearly continuous, the jogs being of slight pro- 
jection. Here some traces of dwellings occur outside of the wall in 
places to a depth of three rooms. The same thing occurs also at the 
north corner. The continuation of these lines suggests a rectangular 
court of considerable size, bounded symmetrically by groups of com- 
partments averaging three rooms deep. (PI. L.) 
Several much smaller inclosures made in the same way occur in the 
village, but they apparently do not conform to the original courts.
