FEWKES— RUINS IN FEWKES CANON 



San Juan to Zufii. Although circular pueblos are now extinct, rem- 

 nants of circular walls appear in outlying inhabited settlements of 

 the Zuhi, such as Nutria and Pescado. These round ruins are com- 

 monly attributed to clans belonging to the oldest Pueblo linguistic 

 stock, the Keres. 



Migratory colonists, ascribed to like clans, made their way to the 

 East Mesa in Hopi, and brought with them the round type of archi- 

 tecture. On the way there they built a circular pueblo, now a ruin, 

 called Fire House, fifteen miles east of Keam's canon, and a round 

 structure called Kukutcomo, three miles from Walpi, near Sikyatki, 

 which legends ascribe probably to a Keres people, or at any rate to 

 Fire clans from near Jemez.
