Jemez people, by whom it is known as Kwasteyukwa. The 
ruins cover an area approximately 850 by 600 feet, and 
even on partial excavation exhibited distinct evidence of 
occupancy at two different periods. The original pueblo 
was considerably larger than the one later. inhabited, 
although the latter was built on the ruins of the older 
and of the same materials. The walls were of tufa 
blocks, rudely shaped and set in adobe mortar; the rooms 
were small, the masonry crude, and practically none of the 
walls remain standing above ground. A large artificial 
reservoir in a northwestern angle of the ruin furnished 
the water supply, and various smaller depressions prob- 
ably mark the sites of kivas. The later inhabitants—those 
within the historical period, or about the first half of the 
seventeenth century—buried their dead in and beneath 
the debris of the older part of the pueblo. The mortuary 
accompaniments were of the usual character, speaking in 
general terms—pottery, traces of textiles, stone and bone 
implements and other objects, and a few ornaments. 
The finding of glass beads with the remains of a child, 
and an iron nail in another grave, bear testimony of the 
comparatively recent occupancy of the village by the 
Jemez Indians. It was the custom of the inhabitants to 
throw large stones into the graves, resulting in the break- 
ing of almost all the pottery deposited with the dead. 
The fragments were carefully preserved, however, and 
will be repaired by the National Museum. <A noteworthy 
specimen of pottery bears in its decoration a feather 
design almost identical with feather symbols found on 
ancient pottery of the Hopi, and therefore tending to 
verify traditions of the latter people that some of their 
ancestral clans came from the Jemez. 
Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, ethnologist, was engaged in 
field work from July to October, having especially in 
view the determination of the western limits of the an- 
cient Pueblo culture in Arizona. Outfitting at Jerome, 
in that State, he proceeded to certain large ruins on the 
upper Verde, on Oak Creek, and in Sycamore Canyon,
