A SURVEY OF PREHISTORIC SITES IN THE
REGION OF FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
By Harotp S. Cotton
INTRODUCTION
The present report deals with an archeological survey of a small
portion of northern Arizona lying between the San Francisco Peaks
and the Little Colorado River. While the report includes most of
the sites in the areas drained by Walnut Creek and Deadmans
Wash, it purposely excludes sites on the intervening watershed.
The report summarizes the results of a study extending through 10
summers (1916, 1919, 1921, 1923, and 1925-1930). It aims to
present three aspects: The distinctive features of individual ruins,
the relations of the early cultures with those of neighboring regions,
and the relations of occupied regions with features of the external
environment. Such a survey can never be said to be complete, yet
it is important that the present knowledge of the region be recorded.
Although the region about Flagstaff has long been known as the
center of a large ancient population, relatively little study has been
given to the remains. This seems strange when we compare the
number of ruins here (649 recorded) with those in other places, and
appears stranger still when we consider the accessibility of the ruins
to modern routes of transportation. Casual visits by Powell (1891),
Stevenson (1887), and Fewkes (1900, 1904) are the only references to
the region prior to 1916 by trained observers. Popular accounts
have flowed from many pens and have appeared from time to time
in magazines and newspapers (Alliot, 1914). Two reasons can be
found for the lack of investigation, both having to do with the
accessibility of the region to the railroad and highway. On first
glance it would seem that the investigator was repelled by the near-
ness to civilization and having traveled far preferred to go farther
on into the wilds. Be that as it may, the accessibility of the region
to investigators made it also accessible to pot hunters who early ex-
ploited and nearly destroyed the cliff ruins where interesting textile
and basket remains have been preserved. The relatively heavy
rainfall (15-25 inches), poor building materials (lava rock), and porous
soil, all contributed to the lack of preservation of artifacts other than
BL

those made of stone or clay. Notwithstanding the early neglect,
Fewkes in 1926 excavated Elden Pueblo, from which a representa-
tive collection of pottery was obtained. In 1928 Dr. Byron Cummings
began the excavation of the Turkey Hill ruin. When the material
from these sites is studied much light will be cast on the prehistoric
pueblo art in this peripheral area.
Since the burial grounds of the ancient pueblos and small house sites
have proved so rich, what remains is rapidly falling into the hands of
the commercial pot hunter. A careful survey is, therefore, necessary
at the present time. .
This paper was prepared for publication in 1923. At that time
very few sites were found in a line about 6 miles wide running east
from the San Francisco Mountains to the Little Colorado—the divide
between the Walnut-Rio de Flag drainage and the Deadman drain-
age. For this reason maps were not prepared. Since then dozens
of sites have been discovered in that string of townships. Since they
form the basis of another paper now in preparation they are omitted
from the present survey.
The writer wishes to thank Mr. J. C. Clarke, Mr. L. F. Brady,
Mr. F. C. Baxter, Mr. E. L. Burnham, Dr. Edwin Helwig, Mr.
Lyndon L. Hargrave, Miss Katharine Bartlett, and particularly
his wife, Mary-Russell F: Colton, all of whom aided him in his
search for sites.
GEOGRAPHY
The high plateau of Arizona culminates in the San Francisco vol-
canic field. This volcanic region is surpassed only by the Columbia
River field, and is therefore the second largest in the country, support-
ing over 200 extinct cones of various sizes, shapes, and ages; the
tallest cone forms the massif called the San Francisco Peaks (altitude
12,700 feet) and is the landmark of north central Arizona. Shelving
eastward from the peaks the plateau dips into the valley of the Little
Colorado River and rises again in a series of great steps of vari-
colored cliffs called the Painted Desert, the last cliff forming the mesas
on which the Hopis built their pueblos. So the San Francisco Moun-
tains see the sun rise over the Hopi mesas, and the Hopis watch the
sun set behind the San Francisco Peaks.
The structure of the earth beneath the San Francisco Mountain
volcanic field is important, if we are to understand the conditions
under which the ancient inhabitants lived. Beneath the fields of lava
and ash the Moencopi red sandstones and shales cover wide areas and
outcrop beyond the lava fields by the Little Colorado. This deposit
is important because it is the only rock that holds water over a very
wide area. (Moencopi is said to be a Hopi word meaning the place
of running water.) Where the Moencopi has not been stripped off in
COLTON) PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 3
the process of erosion we may look for springs. The springs north of
Flagstaff—Rodins Spring, Little Rodins, and Heisers Spring—are all
in the red rocks; and there is reason to believe that under outcrops of
the Moencopi lies the porous Kaibab limestone, a sandy limestone,
much fractured and cracked—a rock which holds no water. Because
of its hard texture, when the soft Moencopi is removed, it remains.
Over large areas, therefore, the Kaibab limestone forms the surface of
the plateau. Since it is porous, no springs are associated with it.
Like other limestone rocks, clay is a by-product of its weathering and
dams in the canyons and washes will hold the water for some time.
Beneath the Kaibab limestone the Coconino sandstone forms a thick
layer. Although it does not outcrop extensively on the plateau, it is
important because it forms a precipitous cliff in the canyons wherever
the intermittent streams have cut deep enough to expose it. Like the
Kaibab above, it is waterless. The only rocks which bear water are
the red Moencopi shales and sandstones. ‘These exposures are limited
to the fringes of mesas and a narrow strip 3 to 6 miles wide lying west
of the Little Colorado River. East of the river it is soon buried by
more recent deposits.
In the summer of 1930 a new factor in the physiography of this area
was recognized. Archeological evidences have accumulated which in-
dicate that Sunset Crater was active in early Pueblo time. This erup-
tion occurred between 600 and 850 A. D. In this eruption Sunset
spread black basaltic sand over the land. In places near the crater
this black sand lies over 2 feet deep. As we leave the region of the
crater the layer thins out in every direction. Because of the pre-
vailing westerly winds the sand layer thins out more rapidly to the
west than to the east. Black sand is found over a sector which in-
cludes about half a circle with a radius of about 20 miles. The center
of this circle is Sunset Crater. The area of black sand extends from
the base of the San Francisco Peaks to the Little Colorado River and
from Black Point to Padre Canyon. During the 1,200 years which
have elapsed since the ash fall the winds have gathered the sand into
dunes which, in the forested region, have been anchored by vegetation.
On the windy steppes the sand has drifted into the canyons and on the
lee side of outcrops of rock, leaving the table-lands free.
This sand cover no doubt influenced the agricultural use of the land,
forming a mulch and conserving the moisture. It also must have
absorbed most of the run-off and so infiuenced the springs. It is
interesting to observe that the densely populated area in early Pueblo
III coincided with the area covered by the ash. In the seven or eight
hundred years elapsing since the region was densely populated, the
high winds have removed the black sand cover and deposited it in the
canyons, where much of it has been carried away into the Little
4 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
Colorado River. Be this as it may, the black sand is an important
factor in the human occupancy of this region.
METHODS OF AN ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The methods adopted by the Museum of Northern Arizona to its
archeological survey were developed by the author over a period of
14 years (1916-1930). As these methods are adaptable to small in-
tensive surveys, it is important to record them.
Four archeological surveys are actually progressing in the South-
west: the Laboratory of Anthropology at Santa Fe under Dr. H. P.
Mera, the University of New Mexico under Reginald G. Fisher (1929-
30), Gila Pueblo under H. 8. Gladwin (1928-30), and the archeological
survey begun by the author and continued by the Museum of Northern
Arizona. Each survey follows a different method and has a different
scope.
The scope of the University of New Mexico, Laboratory of An-
thropology, and Gila Pueblo surveys include the whole Southwest.
On the other hand, that of the Museum of Northern Arizona is quite
restricted. It is an intensive survey. Starting from Flagstaff as a
center, an attempt is made to record all the sites in every direction
radiating from that center, no matter how small and insignificant they
may be. Its ultimate aim is to cover the whole northern portion of
Arizona. Its immediate aim is to study the region between Flagstaff
and the Hopi villages.
Of the vast area in our scheme this study is an insignificant part,
but as it is the hub from which other studies arise, it is important.
The region lying between the San Francisco Mountains and the
Little Colorado River forms the substance of this portion of the
project. .
At Flagstaff the following methods are practiced in the field and
then in the laboratory:
(A) In the field.
(1) When a site is discovered it is given a serial number which is
painted in white paint on the smoothest rock or, if rocks are
absent, tree trunk nearest the north side of the site. The
letters N. A. precede the number, so that the initiated will
know that it is a site recorded by the Museum or Northern
Arizona. (Example: N. A. 1653.) Where trees and rocks
are absent an oak stake branded with N. A. and stamped
with the site number is driven.
(2) a. This number is now entered on the 8 by 5 inch survey card.
(Fig. 1.)
b. If the site is well known and has a name that, too, is entered.
c. The Museum has divided northern Arizona into drainage
areas of convenient size in the belief that the small drain-

age areas are cultural units, and that the final picture will
be a mosaic built out of these small areas. At the same
time the highlands between drainage areas are, in the
semiarid west, relatively uninhabited because of the lack
of water, and these become barriers to the cultural units.
In this paper the following drainage units are studied:
Little Colorado-Wupatki Basin, Little Colorado-Rodin
Basin, Antelope Wash, Deadmans Wash, Rio de Flag,
Upper Walnut Creek, and Lower Walnut Creek. The
proper drainage is recorded on the card. In the laboratory
the cards are filed according to the drainage area.

Into a paper bag a more or less random collection of potsherds
is gathered. The method in use is to collect decorated sherds
and then undecorated sherds and look for rare intruded pieces
from other regions. The size of the collection varies with
the size of the site. Since 1923 no attempt has been made to
gather random collections.

(B) In the laboratory.
(1) The site is recorded by number in a special accession book.
(2) The site is recorded on a map. (PI. 4.) The township is
the unit.
(3) References to previous records on the sites are recorded on
the card.
(4) The field card is filed according to drainage.
(5) A separate file of 8 by 11 inch folders is kept for those sites on
which much data is had, such as photographs, plans, and
notes. These are filed according to site number.
(6) The potsherds that were collected are now washed in water,
then in hydrocholric acid, and dried. On each sherd the
serial number of the site is written in India ink and shel-
lacked, so that if sherds from two sites become mixed they
are easily separated.
(7) The sherds are then placed in specially made cartons of standard
sizes, 6 by 12 by 10 inches, 6 by 12 by 6 inches, 6 by 12 by
2% inches, and cardboard boxes 6 by 10 by 1 inch. Each
box bears a label giving the site number, drainage, pottery
type, and special remarks. These boxes are arranged on
shelves, which are 12 inches apart—the large boxes by
themselves on the shelf and the smaller boxes and cartons
stacked.
MAPS
In a survey, maps play a large part in the record. For this paper
the maps have been compiled from several sources which have been
combined with the direct observations of the author. Although a
little more accurate than any existing maps, they are far from perfect.
The sources of the maps are as follows: The township plot of the
General Land Office surveys extending from 1885 to 1919 (2 inches
equal 1 mile), the excellent series of contour maps of the United
States Forest Service, Coconino sheets, Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (scale
1 inch to the mile), United States Land Office map of Arizona (1
inch equals 12 miles), and the Geological Survey topographic map of
the Flagstaff quadrangle (1 inch equals 2 miles). The author wishes
to thank those Government bureaus, the Forest Service, the Geological
Survey, and the General Land Office, for the use of these excellent
series.
From the above sources a key map and two series of large-scale
maps have been drafted. The key map shows the main features of
the region, the auto roads, a few of the principal ruins, and the
position of the large-scale maps. On the first series, comprising
five sheets drawn originally 2 inches to a mile and reduced to three-
fourths of an inch to a mile, most of the ruins have been plotted.
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 7
In the second series of four maps certain regions in which ruins are
very abundant have been shown in still larger scales.
The ruins have been located on the maps by two methods. In a
number of cases the section and quarter stones have been found and
identified. This is particularly true on the terraces north and east of
the San Francisco Peaks. In other places the ruins have been located
by distance from a road, wash, or other important landmark, while in
the settled districts the fence lines form a useful basis. Where no
landmarks are near a few ruins have been located but approximately.
If a site is near a section boundary and the stone was not discovered,
the ruin may have been placed in the wrong section. However, the
average error is not over a quarter of a mile and probably considerably
less.
The most important differences between these maps and the source
maps are as follows: Walnut Canyon at the second fort has been
corrected by a triangulation with a reflector compass. Drainage from
Aztec Seep was found to enter Hulls Canyon. The contours of
O’Neil Peak have been corrected.
A third series of maps comprises the house plans. These plans have
been prepared by two methods. Where the house lines and room lines
are not very distinct the distances were paced. When they are sharp
and clear the distances have been measured by tape. But afew of the
plans have been prepared for publication. The larger houses and those
which show some special characteristic arrangement have been
selected; hundreds of others are recorded on cards and in the files.
On the maps, the author has used those place names which he
found on existing maps. However, these names are so few that he
has been obliged to search for others. He has applied to the local
inhabitants and when these have failed him, he has coined names.
These new names usually are made from some local landmark.
One change has been made which diverges from the usage on some
maps. The author considers that the Rio de Flag is a tributary of
Walnut Creek and not that Walnut Creek is a tributary of the Rio de
Flag. The Rio de Flag has no channel where it enters Walnut Creek
and rarely ever flows, while Walnut Creek has a wide continuous bed
in the region of the junction. In fact, if one follows the stream bed,
the Rio de Flag could not be found. At the same time the name
Walnut Creek should be substituted for San Francisco Wash.
On the maps the author adopted a series of symbols which seem to
be suitable to this particular region. It must be understood that the
interpretation of the ruins is not final, as few excavations were made.
It seems desirable to indicate on the maps the magnitude of the
ruin. So the author on hypothetical grounds selected the following
five or six types to be recorded. He assumed that a condition similar
to that of the Hopi existed, that the married daughters tended to live
8 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104°
near their mothers. If, in times of peace and plenty, two daughters
lived to marry, then we would have the following classification:
1 tore) Toomge.2.- __. A one-family house.
2 °t0"4 "TOOMBS oe ee A house occupied by a mother and one or two married
daughters.
6itot8:rodmesc.sysu! = A house occupied probably for three generations all in
one family.
9 to 16 rooms_-_-_---- A house occupied for four or five generations by one
family or built by a congregation of several families or
clans.
Pueblos are probably made up of the aggregation of several fam-
ilies. The larger pueblos were perhaps even composed of several clans.
The symbols for earth lodge and sherd area in most cases represent
some kind of a pit house and nearly all belong to Pueblo II. The
other symbols on the maps are self-explanatory or are made clear in
the legend.
HOUSE TYPES
Eight types of structures have been recognized in the San Francisco
Mountain area.
(1) The masonry dwellings from single-roomed houses of 1-story to
3-story pueblos with as many as 50 rooms. These may or may not
be associated with a rectangular kiva.
(2) Small masonry dwellings constructed under natural over-
hanging rocks.
(3) Small masonry dwellings constructed in artificial caves exca-
vated in volcanic ash under a lava flow—called cavate dwellings by
Fewkes, 1896.
(4) Masonry forts in defensive positions on rims of canyons or on
the tops of hills.
(5) Masonry granaries in the open—associated with earth lodges.
(6) Adobe or masonry granaries built in caves.
(7) Earth lodges. Rectangular pit house (Hargrave, 1930) with
an entrance through the roof and a ventilator on the east side. Earth
lodges include the vestibule house (Colton, 1920) with an alcove on
the east side which is not an entrance. These may be (a) excavated
in the ground (a rectangular pit house), (6) built on the surface of
the ground, or (c) built on the top of a low mound. All three are
varieties of a single type and belong to about the same period, no
matter on what level the floor is placed. (The problem of the
vestibule house will be considered in a paper in preparation.)
From a survey of the region it would seem probable that the rec-
tangular kiva accompanies all ruins with which Tusayan or Little
Colorado black-on-white pottery is found. It is usually represented
by a depression on the east or southeast side of the building. In the
large pueblos, such as Elden and New Caves, the kiva seems to be a
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 9
large room at ground level. In the small house sites the kiva has
varied from 9 by 9 to about 12 by 16 feet. From the few excavations
made it seems that the kiva contains a ventilator and deflector. (See
Ruin No. 521, fig. 21.)
“Ruin No. 887 furnishes a well-preserved kiva roof, a large pine
timber 8 inches in diameter running across the middle of the room,
and supports 3 to 4 inch pine timbers which are spaced about 4 to 6
inches apart. On these are laid a neat floor or split cedar shakes
about 3 feet long. On this roofing lie bunches of grass and on top a
layer of clay about 4 to 6 inches thick. Placing all of this together
we have a fairly complete picture of the San Francisco Mountain kiva.
Mr. J. C. Clarke has reported an oval kiva buried in a sand dune
near Heisers Spring. This may turn out to be a pit house when
it is excavated. In the Citadel region are some evidences of oval
kivas or pit houses—excavation alone will reveal their significance.
However, whatever they are, they are rare.
POTSHERDS
When potsherds are studied from the sites in this area it will be
seen that they fall into the types listed below. Where the types
have been well studied they have been given names according to
the method proposed at the Pecos Conference in 1927, a geographical
name followed by a descriptive term. Types that have not been
sufficiently well studied or whose center of development lies out of
the area of this study and which have not yet been given a per-
manent name, are preceded by an asterisk (*).
(A) Wares with no decorative designs.
(1) *Plain gray ware-—Granular surface due to coarse temper;
throat of jar not coiled.
(2) Rio-de-Flag brown.—Plain red, brownish, and brownish-black
ware, smooth surface, noncorrugated, tempering material
coarse sand. Jars and bowls.
(3) Deadman gray.—Plain gray ware. Surface and paste gray,
surface smooth, noncorrugated, tempering material contains
fine mica. Jars and bowls.
(4) Deadman fugitive red —Plain gray ware similar to the above in
paste and surface, but with the surface painted with
hematite after firing and not refired. The red paint will
wash off with water. Jars.
(5) Sunset red—Plain ware, grayish paste, temper black basaltic
cinders, surface floated, red with blackish firing marks.
In worn places the basaltic cinders show through the red.

white slip.
(21) Tusayan black-on-red.—Gray paste burning pinkish or yellow-
ish on the surface, sherd temper, painted inside and outside
in red on which a black design is applied. Bowls. There is
a similar ware without the red paint found in Pueblo II
sites in the Upper Moencopi Wash. On these the black is
applied directly to the pink surface. This has not yet been
given a name.
(22) Tusayan polychrome.—Called by Kidder 1924 Proto-Kayenta
polychrome. A variety of Tusayan black-on-red. Gray
paste burning yellowish on the surface, sherd temper.
On the yellowish surface a red design is outlined in black.
On the yellowish exterior of bowls a broad red line is
drawn below the rim. Bowls.
(23) Kayenta polychrome.—Paste and yellowish slip or float similar
to Tusayan polychrome. Red is used on large masses.
The black is outlined with a narrow white line. On bowls
the exterior contains a broad red line as in the Tusayan
polychrome. See Kidder, 1924. Bowls and small jars.
(24) In the late sites other wares manufactured in neighboring
regions are sometimes encountered, such as Jeddito black-
on-white, Kayenta black-on-white, Klag-n-to black-on-
yellow, and Little Colorado polychrome.

CULTURE HORIZONS.
The Southwestern Archeological Conference, held at Pecos, N. Mex.,
in 1927 (Kidder, 1927), proposed the following chronological classifi-
cation of culture periods in the Southwest.
' Basket Maker I, or Early Basket Maker.—A postulated (and
perhaps recently detovereat stage, Wage RAR yet adumbrating
later developments.
Basket Maker II, or Basket Maker.—The agricultural, atlatl-
nonpottery-making stage, as described in many publications.
Basket Maker III, or Late Basket Maker, or Post Basket Maker.—
The pit or slab house building, potter-making stage. (The three
Basket Maker stages were characterized by a long-headed population,
which did not practice skull deformation.)
Puesto I, or Proto-Pueblo.—The first stage during which cranial
deformation was practiced, vessel neck corrugation was introduced,
and villages composed of rectangular living rooms of true masonry
were developed. (It was generally agreed that the term pre-Pueblo,
hitherto sometimes applied to this period, should be discontinued. )
Pursto II.—The stage marked by widespread geographical exten-
sion of life in small villages; corrugation, often of elaborate technique,
extended over the whole surface of cooking vessels.
Pursto III, or Great Period.—The stage of large communities,
great development of the arts, and growth of intensive local speciali-
zation.
Pursto IV, or Proto-Historic.—The stage characterized by contrac-
tion of area occupied; by the gradual disappearance of corrugated
wares; and, in general, by decline from the preceding cultural peak.
Pursto V, or Historic.—The period from 1600 A. D. to the present.
Since the Pecos Classification was published the pottery types as-
sociated with the culture periods in the central area have become more
distinct. In the San Francisco Mountains culture periods correlate
with house types and pottery types as follows:
Basket Maker I and Basket Maker II have not been distin-
guished in the area covered by this paper.
Basket Maker III is but poorly represented, three sites only being
recorded.
House type-—An earth lodge, rectangular pit house. Hargrave
(1930).
Pottery.— Plain gray, Basket Maker black-on-white.
Pursto I is poorly represented; all the known sites lie east of Flag-
staff among the cinder hills.
House types.—An earth lodge, a rectangular pit house. Hargrave
(1930).

Kayenta polychrome are added to the others.
(2) Rio de Flag and Walnut Creek: Gray corrugated, partially
obliterated ; Tusayan black-on-white; Little Colorado black-on-white;
Tusayan black-on-red; Tusayan polychrome; Flagstaff red; Elden red
corrugated; and Sunset red. At late sites Wupatki black-on-white,
Kayenta polychrome, Little Colorado polychrome, Klag-n-to black
on yellow, and Proto-Four-mile polychrome are met with.
Pursto IV anp V are not represented in this region, although three
sites were occupied up to the transition into Pueblo IV: Wupatki,
Old Caves, and Turkey Hill.
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF CULTURES
The method of studying the distribution of pottery differs from
other similar studies. Fewkes (1904) counted the number of pieces,
presumably whole bowls and jars, of each type collected from a
series of sites, and has presented us with a pottery cross section of
Arizona, 70 miles east of the Flagstaff region; Kidder (1917) at Pecos
and Nelson (1916) in the Gallesteo Basin and Gladwin (1930) have
each studied pottery complexes by counting potsherds and expressing
the results in percentages. The author feels that this method can
be improved upon, because some kinds of pottery are more fragile
than others; at least this is true in the San Francisco Mountain
region where the coarse brown and red ware is frequently found in
14 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
smaller fragments than the black-and-white ware. For this reason
the author weighs the sorted potsherds from a given site rather than
counts them.

mans Wash complexes. In Upper Rio de Flag and Upper Deadmans
Wash the sites are nearly all Pueblo II. Pueblo III is absent, but in
the upper Rio de Flag, Rio de Flag brown is the utility ware, while
in Upper Deadman it is Deadmans gray or Deadmans fugitive red.
In lower Deadmans and the Lower Rio de Flag, Pueblo III sites are
more striking than the Pueblo II sites. South of the line Flagstaff
red is dominant, while north of the line it is absent, or nearly so.
Little Colorado black-on-white south of the line, Tusayan black-on-
white is the common one to the north. It is hard to see what kind
of a barrier existed which prevented the mixing of two tribes, but it
was an important one.
AGRICULTURE
From the survey it appears that the eruption of Sunset Crater was
a dominant incident in the history of our area. Previous to that
event the sites were clustered close to the peaks. After the eruption
they spread from the peaks to the Little Colorado River.
For primitive agriculture a light soil is necessary, a soil that can
be penetrated by a digging stick. ‘Therefore we find the early sites
associated with alluvial parks in the forest and old intercone basins.
After the eruption of Sunset Crater, with the country covered with
a thin layer of black sand, a new era for agriculture developed. This
black sand absorbed heat and at the same time acted as a mulch,
conserving the water in the soil.
At the present time the Hopi selects for his cornfields a thin sand
dune which is traveling slowly across the land. With his digging
stick he plants the seed in the soil, which is kept moist by the mulch
of sand, a foot to 18 inches deep, depending on the thickness of the.
mulch. It is thought probable that the black sand made a similar
mulch and that an area which had previously been unsuitable for
agriculture became a garden spot. Because the sand cover washed
and blew away, the late pueblos, like Elden, Turkey Hills, and Old
Caves, are found close to the peaks, while the people of Wupatki
cultivated the dunes in the shelter of an escarpment. Now that the
sand cover has been largely removed the land has gone back to the
grassy steepe that originally existed.
In many places lines of stones are visible which mark the position
of the ancient fields. Lines of stones dammed little draws and caught
the sand and moisture, as we see to-day at the second Hopi Mesa.
(See wash west of Crack-in-Rock.) Parallel lines of stones were
used as windbreaks, such as can be seen to-day at Sikyatki at the
First Hopi Mesa (or in this region southeast of Ruin 377, or South
of Grand Falls).
Broken hoes are picked up on the site of the fields and a digging
stick has been found in one excavation.
COLTON) PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF FZ
Methods of agriculture as far as we can see were similar to the
methods used to-day by the Hopi.
WATER SUPPLY
The rainfall ranges between 40 inches on the mountains (Pearson,
1921) and 25 inches at the base, and from 5 to 10 inches by the
river (Monthly Weather Review). In the region suitable for agri-
culture the rainfall is between 15 and 25 inches. ‘The porous nature
of the soil renders this water unavailable for domestic purposes except
when caught in basins in lava canyons or when it appears in springs
in the Moencopi sandstone and shales. Certain clay basins will also
hold temporary pools. The distribution of the ruins is largely a
matter of water supply. Water is scarce over the entire area, not-
withstanding the fact that the rainfall would support running streams
if the region had a different geological structure. The author accepts
the doctrine of climate change to account for ruins in now waterless
regions.
DESCRIPTION OF SITES
Uprer Rio pE Frag AND ABoutT ELDEN SPRING
North of Flagstaff the Rio de Flag has its sources on the southern
flanks of the San Francisco Mountains. Although petroglyphs
abound at the old Veit ranch on Mount Agassiz, altitude 8,100
feet, the highest dwellings occur lower at Little Le Roux Spring
(Cliff shelter), altitude 7,600 feet. In this region north of Flagstaff
the most notable group of ruins lies a few hundred yards north of
the Flagstaff reservoir on the Schultz Pass road. These furnish the
best examples of earth lodges (Colton, 1920) which had been built
upon a platform or mound. The remains of other earth lodges
fringe the base of the mountains east to Elden Spring. In this region
no houses were built; the notable group west of Elden Spring in the
pines described and figured by Colton (1918 a, b), were probably
platforms on which earth lodges had been built and 125 beside
National Highway a mile south of Elden Spring (Colton, 1918),
may be a similar platform.
Mr. L. F. Brady, of the Mesa School, discovered pottery frag-
ments 14 feet below the surface of the earth in the walls of the arroyo
of the Rio de Flag associated with the stumps of buried trees. The
author aided him in digging out a pit-house site 4 feet below the
present level of the alfalfa field of the county farm. The details of
this work are left to Mr. Brady to record.
North of Flagstaff the characteristic dwelling is the earth lodge
on a platform while the characteristic potsherd of the dwellers is
Rio de Flag brown.
18 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
Wautnutr Canyon
Among the antiquities of the Flagstaff region the cliff dwellings in
Walnut Canyon are best known. Not only have they been longest
exploited, but also they are more frequently visited than any of the
antiquities of the region, being examined yearly by over 10,000
people. (Map, pl. 3.) In 1906, to preserve the ruins, the President
set aside as a National Monument two sections and a quarter in-
closing the most conspicuous remains. Being within 6 miles of the
transcontinental highway (U.S. No. 66), it is one of the most readily
accessible national monuments to the automobile tourist. Because
of this accessibility and the large number of visitors to the canyon,
an account of it is necessary.
It can not be said that Walnut Creek rises, because it rarely has
any water flowing init. Yetit drains a very large area lying between
the San Francisco Peaks and Mormon Mountain 40 miles to the
south. The waters from an occasional cloud-burst in the summer or
the melting snows in the spring flow north from the region about
Mormon Mountain, down Clark Valley, past Lake Mary to Fishers
Tank. For many miles a cliff or escarpment rises abruptly 200 or
300 feet above its eastern banks. This cliff, a fault escarpment,
forms the western edge of Anderson Mesa. At Fishers Tank the
channel turns east, slicing through Anderson Mesa, cutting a rocky
canyon in the Kaibab limestone and underlying Coconino sand-
stone 300 to 400 feet deep; and follows a meandering course east-
ward with many sharp hairpin bends, its alternately sandy and
boulder-strewn bed opening out finally into a shallow channel near
Winona Station on the Santa Fe Railroad.
Halfway between Fishers Tank and Winona Station the ancient
people of the region congregated in a village. ‘Tilling the ground
in the parks to the northeast, they found water, shelter, and security
in the canyon. Water, the primal necessity, exists in several places
in natural pools and probably can be found by digging in the sand
in other places. The unequal weathering of the sandy Kaibab lime-
stone forms natural overhangs with flat floors. Taking advantage of
the overhanging ledges, side and front walls are the only structures
needed to complete a house. Security can be found on the almost
inaccessible “islands”? and peninsulas which occur at nearly every
sharp bend in the canyon.
In occupying the sunny north walls of the canyon, the bitter cold
of the winter was ameliorated, and shelter from the irritating winds
of the spring and early summer attained. Except for the chore of
carrying water up the well-built trail from the pools in the canyon,
Walnut Canyon must have been a pleasant place in which to live.
The first fort or ‘Steamboat Fort” lies 34% miles southwest of
Winona Station up the canyon. (Map, fig. 9.) Here the canyon
couton] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 19
is shallow, about 100 feet deep. Houses crowd the top of a peninsula,
the perpendicular walls of which form an adequate defense. Other
houses occupy the promontories on the canyon wall, while the wide
flats on the canyon floor contain foundations grouped about a large
corral-like inclosure. At the base of the fort on the west side of the
“island” a kiva seems to have been built. The first fort would form a
good place for investigation.
The second fort, 3 miles above the first fort and a mile above the
Santa Fe Railroad dam, is not so favorable for study. Here the
canyon is deeper and the remains of habitation fewer. Evidences
of long occupation are not present. About the first fort the inhabi-
tants lived in houses on the surface of the ground. At the second
fort they occupied houses built under overhanging ledges. The
second fort presents few points of interest, notwithstanding its
picturesque situation at the junction of a large tributary canyon
with Walnut Canyon.
Within the National Monument, a third fort similar to those
previously described occupies a peninsula jutting out from the
northern rim of the canyon, and is surrounded by one of the fre-
quent hairpin curves of Walnut Creek. Here the canyon is exceed-
ingly narrow as well as deep. Nevertheless the third fort, called
popularly the “‘island,’’ lies in the thickest settled portion of the
canyon. It is the one “island” easily accessible and frequented by
the tourist. The sides of the “island” are covered with cliff dwellings
and the top crowned with a fort where traces of the defensive walls
still remain.
The fourth fort occupies the end of a peninsula jutting out from
the south wall a quarter of a mile above the third fort. While the
southern face is covered by dwellings, the northern face, supporting
a growth of balsam, Douglas fir, and other members of the Canadian
floral zone, is without many houses. The fort is defended by a wall
across the neck of the promontory. A mile above the fourth fort
lies the fifth fort. This is a peninsula or ‘‘island” joined to the
southern wall. Both the east and west exposures of the “‘island”’
contain dwellings. However, like the second fort, it never formed
the refuge for a teeming population. Farther up the canyon penin-
sulas and promontories abound, but they were not used by the
primitive inhabitants of the region as places for defense. This may
be because the cornfields were too far away; other places just as
easily defended lie nearer the arable gounds.
The ruins about Walnut Canyon fall in four groups: (1) Small one
or two roomed houses on and back from the canyon rim, a quarter of
a mile or so, or on the islands or peninsulas in the canyon, (2) three or
five roomed houses similarly located, (3) cliff dwellings, and (4) forts.

The positions of the dwellings on the level ground are shown on the
map and are not different from others in the region. The group on

rooms (fig.7). Although the overhanging rock made a roof unnecessary
for the inner rooms, the outer rooms entirely beyond the overhang
required a constructed roof.

FIGURE 6.—Walnut Canyon—Generalized section of a cliff house based
particularly on house 746. This section illustrates the way the dwellers
in the canyon made use of the overhanging limestone rocks; how the
walls were constructed and the floors leveled
to hold them when rain water undermined them, they fell. This
accounts for the almost universal absence of complete front walls.
Since a large population once lived in this region, it is a striking
fact that no trace of a kiva has been found except at the first fort far

FiIGcuRE 7,—Plan of house 322 which was built under an overhanging ledge of limestone.
Three rooms extended beyond the line of overhang, which must have had constructed
roofs. No. 322 would be a good site to restore
down the canyon. Where the ruins are thickest nothing suggesting
a kiva has been observed.
As the canyon is visited by so many people yearly, the author sug-
gests that the present trail be closed, that Casa 103 be reconstructed
into a custodian’s house and local museum and Casa 475, which con-
tains two good-sized rooms, be restored. He also suggests that a
22 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
trail be built from the end of the promontory opposite the ‘‘island”’
down to the level of the middle series of cliff dwellings. At this level
a portion of cliff dwelling No. 322 should be restored. With these
changes made, Walnut Canyon will be a much more interesting and
instructive place for itinerant tourists.
Walnut Canyon was occupied principally in late Pueblo II and
early Pueblo III cultural strata.

ELDEN PUEBLO
On the divide joining Sheep Hill with Elden Mountain, west of the
National Highway, in the pines, lies Elden Pueblo, No. 142, excavated
by Fewkes in 1926. (Fewkes, 1927, plan, p. 210.) This Pueblo,
like several others in the neighborhood, such as Turkey Hills, was

FIGURE 8.—Details of door and smoke hole of house 746,
one of the cliff dwellings in Walnut Canyon
located with little thought of defense. Of the main building Doctor
Fewkes excavated 33 rooms, leaving about 16 rooms unexcavated, so
the building contained about 49 rooms on the ground floor. About
the central building are the remains of three small 1-story houses of
three to five rooms each. The kiva of Elden Pueblo proved to be a
large room at ground level with a low seat or banquette around the
inside wall. Elden Pueblo belongs to Pueblo III culture horizon.
TURKEY HILLS PUEBLO
Among the larger pueblos of this region mention must be made of
one (No. 660) lying a quarter mile south of the Winslow Road on the
lower flats of the Turkey Hills. A large mound which might cover
the remains of a 3-story building with perhaps 15 basal rooms has a
l-story extension of 11 rooms extending northeast. ‘Three small 1
to 4 roomed houses lie a few yards to the southeast. Between the
largest of these, a house with 4 rooms, lies a depression which excava-
tion might show to be a kiva. An outcrop of lava north of the ruin
was used as permanent metates for grinding corn.
coLTon] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 23
Although not as large as Elden Pueblo, this ruin is one of the larger
ones on the level ground. Being near the present settled district of
Doney Park, it is subject to vandalism and it is reported that some
stone has already been removed for building purposes. In the sum-
mer of 1928 Dr. Byron Cummings, with the aid of his students, began
the excavation of this ruin. Culture horizon is Pueblo III. Pot-
sherds show that this site was occupied later than Elden Pueblo.
WINONA ROAD GROUP
Near Locketts Tanks, east of Doney Park on a lava flow, stood a
group of small houses described by Colton (1918 a, 6). This group
has been destroyed by the location of the new ‘National Highway,
which has. passed through the main house of the group. It furnished
a very good example of the small house ruin of the region, a house not
very different from that described by Prudden (1920) in the San
Juan region, Pueblo IIT.
OLD CAVES PUEBLO
The Old Caves Pueblo (No. 72), plastered on the sunny south
slope of a small cinder cone, overlooks Doney Park. Fewkes (1900
and 1904) has described it well and figured some of the curious under-
ground rooms beneath each house. The plan (fig. 10) shows the
number of rooms and also records the rooms with undergorund
chambers. Since this pueblo is unique in pueblo architecture, it
should be preserved from the pot hunters, who are mining in its
burial grounds. This hilltop should be a National Monument. The
culture horizon is late Pueblo III and very similar to Turkey Hill.
PICTURE CANYON AND PORCUPINE CAVE
East of Cliffs Station the Rio de Flag crosses north of the track
and entersalavacanyon. In thiscanyon lies anatural tank. North-
east of the tank a series of small houses of early Pueblo III cluster
at the canyon rim, while other house sites are formed in the talus
under the lava cliff. (Map, fig. 9.) In one place the primitive
inhabitants mined the loose lapilli and scoria from under the lava
flow, forming a series of four chambers called locally Porcupine Cave.
The last chamber still is separated by a stone and adobe wall from the
third chamber. This wall is punctured by a doorway with a wooden
lintel still in place. The wall is neatly plastered. (Since this was
written in 1923, vandals have destroyed all the walls.)
In 1919 the author excavated a number of graves in the talus east
of the cave, recovering a number of artifacts, and in 1921 he excavated
a rectangular chamber in the talus which may or may not have been
a kiva. Here nothing notable was found but the fireplace and a
cache of five stone axheads.
24 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULE. 104
Picture Canyon (fig. 11) was named for the large number of
petroglyphs which cover the basalt rocks; indeed, a notable array.
It is a typical site of the people who made the Flagstaff red pottery.
Nearly all the bowls recovered were of that type. However, a few
pieces of Little Colorado black-on-white and corrugated ware were
recovered from the burials. These burials, under the ledges of basalt
beneath the sites of the houses, were as follows:

THE ACROPOLIS OF ‘‘RED”’ OR ‘‘O’NEIL’’ PEAK—NEW CAVES
North of the ranches in Gourd Flat rises the red rim of a ragged
crater. This rim is low on the east side but rises 300 feet on the west.
N.
FIGURE 10.—Old Caves Pueblo (72). A communal house straggling down the southern slope of a small
cindercone. It occupies the most convenient point near Doney Park suitable for defense. The curious
underground chambers in nearly every room hollowed out of the cinders make it unique in pueblo
architecture
Crowning the rim, a fringe of ruins with a few gaps enclose the crater.
While the ruins on the east and the south rim are interesting, those on
the west and north rim are remarkable. Fewkes (1904) commented
on the ragged and inhospitable lava slopes that the inhabitants chose
as dwelling places. He described a few of the cavate rooms on the
face of the crater, but left us without a picture of the whole.

The acropolis of Red Peak (map, pl. 4) covers the northwestern
portion of the crater rim, while detached houses of 1, 2, and even
11 rooms straggle down the hill to a saddle which had been leveled
off perhaps as a dance court as suggested by Powell (1891). Fewkes
(1904) interpreted it as areservoir. On the terraces at the south foot
of the mountain lie other houses. (See Colton 1918 b.)
The inner face of the crater falls steeply away, in places precipitous,
while the outer slope is more gradual. The inner face, therefore,
could be easily defended, short intervals of wall being all that is
necessary. ‘To protect the gradual outer slope, an extensive wall was

FIGURE 11.—Picture Canyon, showing the position of Porcupine Cave (225). Petroglyphs are
abundant on rocks west of the cave
constructed. This wall, over 700 feet long, seems in places to have
been breast-high, but is now in many stretches a mere retaining wall
for a terrace. At the northeast end the wall merges into a series of
dwellings which form a kind of bastion. From the middle of the
long wall and perpendicular to it runs a second wall combined with a
series of rooms. This wall forms the inner line of defense. <A third
wall into which was also combined a number of dwellings quite as in
the pueblo architecture of the region.
Another unusual feature of the houses in and about this acropolis
is the underground rooms which almost every house possesses—a
type of cellar. This recalls the feature of Old Caves Pueblo 4 miles
to the west as described by Fewkes (1904). There the rooms were
hollowed out of the half-fused scoria; here at Red Peak the rooms are
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 27
excavated in the soft cinders, necessitating retaining walls. This
feature is unique.
Although no kivas are recognized on Red Peak, yet a large building
24 by 36 feet may have played a part in the ceremonies of the inhabi-
tants. This large single-roomed building recalls similar rooms at
Zuni, in Verde Valley (Mindeleff, 1896), and in the Tonto Basin
(Fewkes, 1904), supposedly used for purposes of ceremony.
We can not leave Red Peak without some reference to its water
supply. lying as it does between two lava basins of Locketts Tank
and Turkey Tanks, it is over 2 miles from the former and 3 miles
from the latter. It is possible that the curious inclosure in the center
now filled with drifted sand is a reservoir or tank.
The extensive acropolis of Red Peak is useless for any economic
purpose and with Old Caves it should be set apart as a National
Monument.
Like other sites in this region, the pottery complex consists of
Pueblo IJ and Pueblo III.
FORTRESS HILLS
On the east Gourd Flat is bounded by a row of four small volcanic
hills, the origin of which is not very clear. The second hill from the
south end is crowned by a well-built fort (Colton, 1918), while the
slopes are dotted with depressions bearing potsherds of Rio de Flag
brown ware. Since this region has already been fully described,
nothing more need be added except that the earth lodge sites extend
north onto the lava flow which issued from O’Neil Peak. All these
sites belong to the culture horizon of Pueblo IT.
TURKEY TANKS
Below the junction of the Rio de Flag, Walnut Creek enters a smal]
lava canyon and like most of such canyons this contains pools of
permanent water. Where water abounds ruins will be found.
Turkey Tank caves in section 26 were described by Fewkes (1900).
The fort and ruins near the lower tank are figured and described by
Colton (1918, a and 6). These belong to the Pueblo III culture
horizon. Earth lodge sites Pueblo II are scattered along the hill-
tops; on all of these Rio de Flag brown pottery is common. In the
canyon east of Turkey Tanks lie a few cavate dwellings.
Grass TANK AND PIPERS CRATER
East of Turkey Tanks, Walnut Creek enters a deep lava canyon,
containing a few pools of water, and finally discharges on & wide
lava, cinder, and cedar-covered plain. In a shallow canyon .in the
plain lies Grass Tank. Below Grass Tank the creek enters a limestone
canyon in the plain. In the cedars about Grass Tank ruins are quite
28 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
numerous; Pueblo III masonry houses and Pueblo II pit-house sites
are abundant.
The most notable Pueblo III ruins in this region are as follows:
(a) An eyrie little ruin of five rooms (No. 475) perched on a pre-
cipitous spatter cone in section 31.
(6) A 7-room house (No. 473) with kiva and small circular building
4 feet in diameter. The author excavated this latter to the depth of
4 feet and found the stones of the east side resting on a burial. This
he left intact. Such small circular underground chambers are fairly
common in connection with ruins in the cedars. The author makes no
suggestion as to their function.
(c) The ‘‘Ridge Ruin”’ (No. 1785) in section 7 was discovered by
Mr. J. C. Clarke. For this region with some 30 rooms on the first
floor, it is one of the larger pueblos. ‘Traces of two kivas are evident.
(d) A well-preserved ruin built of lava blocks covers the top of the
western rim of the crater northeast of Pipers Ranch. It is a site
comparable to the acropolis of Red Peak but much smaller. The
walls, nothwithstanding their laval construction, are in a good state of
preservation. Cavite dwellings and boulder sites scatter down the
southeast end of the ridge.
(e) One-half mile east of No. 473 on the brink of the canyon of
Walnut Creek lies an interesting ruin (No. 885) with 11 rooms on the
ground floor.
(f) In a lava cave on the north side of the canyon below No. 885
lies a well-preserved kiva (No. 886) with the roof about one-fifth
intact. As it shows the structure of the kiva roof it is worth mention.
It is about 9 by 9 feet with 6 feet depth. A ventilator and shaft
have been exposed by Mr. J. C. Clarke. A section of the kiva can
be seen in Figure 21. Very few potsherds were found.
(g) East of the kiva, in another similar cave, is a small, well-pre-
served cliff dwelling (No. 887).
(kh) One hundred feet east of ruin No. 885 lies a bowlder site with
Deadmans Flat black-on-white, fugitive red, and walnut red.
Pueblo II.
(i) Ruin No. 521 on the north side of Walnut Creek about a mile
below Grass Tank has about seven rooms and in 1925 the author
excavated the kiva, 15 feet 9 inches by 12 feet 6 inches, exposing a
ventilator 8 inches by 9 inches and deflector 1 foot by 2 feet on the
east side. In front of the deflector lies the fireplace, 10 by 12 and 10
inches deep.
(7) One mile north of the Ridge Ruins on the edge of the same
lava flow lies a pueblo ruin which we have called Two Kivas (No. 700).
It is a little smaller than the Ridge Ruin but similar to it in many
ways.
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 29
Grass Tank and Youngs Canyon have evidently furnished water
for the inhabitants of this region. Other tanks in Walnut Creek,
now dry, seem to account for the concentration of sites in certain
places.
Amon@ THE Bia CINDER CoNES
After alternately passing through limestone and lava canyons,
- Walnut Creek permanently enters the limestone. Where it passes
its last lava flow pools of water remain. These pools constitute
Walnut Tanks.
About Walnut Tanks and on the west flanks of Merriam Crater lie
a few small pueblo ruins and earth lodge sites. They are notable
because they were built in a treeless, waterless waste. Although
but few have been recorded, sites have been found wherever looked
for between the cinder cones and the Little Colorado, but they are
few and far between.
ToLcHaco
The region about Tolchaco, the old crossing or ford of the Little
Colorado, much used before the bridge was built at Leupp, contains
some interesting ruins. One only, the ‘‘Burned Ruin,” was visited
and measured.
On a red sandstone rock overhanging the river this little building
with 19 first-floor rooms is interesting. Having been destroyed by
fire when stored with corn, the intense heat fused the clay or abode
floors, forming a kind of slag frequently called lava by the uninitiated.
The ground all about is covered with carbonized ears of corn, slag,
and much pottery scrap.
The pottery is distinctly that of the southern complex: Elden
corrugated ware and Little Colorado black-on-white, and gray
corrugated ware. It is interesting because it lies on the edge of a
culture area. Although other ruins were not visited in the region,
the author has been informed that they exist. Late Pueblo III.
Bonito Park
As the Rio de Flag and Walnut Creek carry us from the pine forests
of the mountains to the deserts along the Little Colorado near Leupp,
so another similar series of sites leads us from the pines on the north-
east side of the San Francisco Peaks to the Little Colorado near Black
Falls. While the first series of sites is over 40 miles long, the series
from Bonito Park to the river is less than 30 miles. In the pines west
of Bonito Park near Jack Smith’s Tank lie scattered a large number
of sites of earth lodges. Some are vestibule houses and others are
pit houses. The associated pottery, Deadmans_ black-on-white,
Deadmans gray, Deadmans black-on-red, Deadmans fugitive red.

One of the earth lodge sites (No. 409) the author excavated in 1928,
locating the fireplace. (For details see fig. 12.) In the summer of
1930 the Museum Expedition under Lyndon L. Hargrave excavated
a large number of sites in this region. This area will be treated in a
separate paper.

Although a large number of ruins have been measured and some are
of fair size, no one is deemed worthy of special description.
Since all the ruins are located along the two washes that head
north of Sugar Loaf Crater, it would seem to indicate that springs
once existed which fed a stream running out from the mountain.
An ancient dam was visible in 1923 across the wash near site No. 191.
Crepar RIDGE AND THE Lava TERRACES
After crossing Deadmans Flat the Tuba City Road climbs over
Cedar Ridge. Off to the east lie a few scattered sites. None are

large and none are notable in any way. Continuing north, the Tuba
Road drops off the Cedar Ridge lava flow on to a lower flow, the fourth
terrace. Here ruins are very frequent and some are quite extensive.

FIGURE 13.—Plans of a number of houses found on the lava terraces north of Deadmans Flat and east
of the Tuba City road. 576 is an earth lodge of the ‘‘vestibule type.’’ The others are Pueblo III
masonry buildings. Most of the sites have associated with them a depression in the ground on the
south or southeast side which is probably the kiva
2-roomed house into an L-shaped structure, and the L-shaped house
into one surrounding three sides of a court. The most notable
ruins are No. 438, two story with 14 to 16 rooms; No. 448, a two
story, 10 to 12 rooms; No. 449, 10 rooms on the ground floor; No.
457, three story, 45 rooms on the ground floor; No. 459, two story, 22
rooms on the ground floor. (Fig. 13.) About half a mile northeast
32 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY {BULL. 104
of ruin No. 438 is an oval depression surrounded by a mound of exca-
vated material. This depression has a north-south axis about 100
feet long and an east-west axis about 60 feet. This resembles the
bowl at Casa Grande and at Wupatki.
Below the fourth terrace les the third terrace. Although struc-
tures of two or three rooms are fairly abundant, none require a special
description.
The second terrace lies north and east of the third. Three ruins
are large enough to deserve special mention. No. 574, a mound 10
feet high, 18 to 20 rooms, 2 story, built about a court; No. 578, 7
rooms; No. 579, 8 rooms, all built about courts. The lower lava
terrace lies to the east of the second, third, and fourth and extends
nearly to Hulls Canyon. Although small ruins dot its surface none
require particular mention.
Big Hawk VALLEY
North of the terraces the old Tuba Road crosses a broad lava-
filled valley while the new Tuba Road skirts it on the east side. We
call this Big Hawk Valley. Crossing it on the old road one gains the
impression that the valley is covered with ruins. However, a careful
survey shows about 25, all located in a band about three-quarters
of a mile wide and 2 miles long. These ruins are mostly 2 to 4
roomed stone houses with lateral walls embracing a southeastern
court. A kiva could be inferred in some cases by a depression in the
ground in the court, while northwest or northeast another depression
seemed to represent a reservoir or tank or merely the excavation out
of which the clay and stone were removed for building purposes.
(Fig. 13.) Plans Nos. 678 and 682.
All of these sites are covered with Pueblo III potsherds except one,
No. 618 (fig. 14), which is very much like a boulder site in the lower
Tonto Basin. The pottery, however, is of the characteristic Pueblo
II of the region.
Hutts Canyon
Big Hawk Valley has one branch extending northeast into the
Citadel flat, but the drainage does not flow that way. The wash
draining the terraces swings over the south mesa near the Citadel,
then turns southeast into Hulls Canyon. Here are located 10 more
sites. These ruins parallel the canyon, which is very shallow and
filled with black volcanic sand. They rest on the limestone floor as
the lava cap ends at the edge of the lower terrace a mile to the south-
west. The ruins are built of limestone. A deep fissure in the lime-
stone forms an interesting feature of this region. A mile southwest of
the ruins in Hulls Canyon lies the Red House, No. 590, a 3-roomed,
2-story house, the central room of which has been restored by some
sheepman and roofed. It lies on the Moencopi sandstone in the

CITADEL
Northeast of Flagstaff, on the steppes forming the western portion
of the Painted Desert, are two curious sinks about 100 yards across,
the geologic origin of which is not clear. Both sinks seem to be on
fault lines. They are on the eroded edge of a basaltic lava flow,
probably of the first period of eruption of the San Francisco volcanic
field (Robinson, 1912). In each sink the lava lies on a thin bed of
Moencopi red sandstone underneath which the Kaibab limestone is
exposed for 50 feet or more. About both of these sinks the early
inhabitants of the region built dwellings. The first, Citadel sink,
located in township 25 North, range 9 East, section 7, lies on the south-
34 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
ern edge of a large group of ruins described in part by Fewkes (1897
and 1904) and Barrett (1926). The second sink (township 25 North,
range 9 Kast, section 19) has about it fewer ruins; some cliff dwellings
inside (about six rooms) and some small houses on the rim.
Neither within nor without the sinks is water at present found.
Indeed, the whole region is so waterless that the cattle and sheep
can not use the range, although it produces excellent grass. Cattle-
men and sheepmen, attracted by the ruins, have made serious attempts
to develop water, but the ancient source is still a mystery.
A drainage system, taking origin in the cinder cones 10 miles to
the west of the sinks, flows in shallow canyons in the lava eastward,
passing through Big Hawk Valley to the north of the second sink and
to the south of the Citadel sink. Turning south, the wash enters
Hulls Canyon, a cinder-filled valley, and diverges into Deadmans
Wash. From the Tuba City Road to Deadmans Wash its dry sandy
bed is bordered by ruins on either side and at one place near the cross-
ing of the wash by the Old Tuba Road, Navaho teamsters are said
to get water by digging in the sand. This spot is called ‘‘ Aztec Seep.”
It is possible, therefore, that this wash once contained a large under-
flow of water.
Again, although not visible in many places because of the talus,
the water-bearing Moencopi sandstones and shales outcrop on the
edge of almost all the lava caps. Here springs may have once existed
as they do now under similar conditions farther southeast in the Wu-
patki and Rodin Basins.
Be that as it may, the only positive sources of water are a tank on
the top of Magnetic Mesa, a tank south of Ruin No. 360, and two or
three dams in the broad depression in Antelope Prairie, three-quarters
of a mile east-southeast of the Citadel ruin.
Rising above the northeast rim of the first sink,:a little mesa of red
sandstone, capped with basalt, supports an impressive ruin having
30 rooms on its ground floor, called by Fewkes the Citadel. (Fig. 15.)
In the center of the patio is a depression which may represent a kiva.
The hillside to the east is terraced and two other sites, 357 and 358,
lie at the base. The culture horizon of the Citadel, as well as all the
other standing ruins in this part of the Wupatki National Monument,
is that called Pueblo II]. However, Pueblo [I sites are common,
but in most cases have been reoccupied in Pueblo III times.
North and west of the Citadel (map, pl. 5) are two shallow can-
yons intersecting and forming a letter T. Thesouthwest arm received
the drainage from a limited area to the southwest but may have once
received the drainage from Aztec Seep, as the dividing line between
the two systems is very low. The arm called Cedar Canyon drains
to the northwest, while the northeast arm drains into a blind basin
without any outlet. The drainage, therefore, is peculiar.

Coupled with this*peculiar lay of the land, mention must be made
of a number of fault lines; a system running north-northwest and
south-southeast is crossed by a system running at right angles to it.

FIGURE 15.—The Citadel, 355, occupying the top of a butte, the eroded remnant of an ancient lava
flow. The Citadel is alandmark on the western edge of the Painted Desert and is the center around
which are grouped large numbers of other sites. It liesin the Wupatki National Monument
At these faults the Kaibab limestone has weathered into deep fissures
and in places into little meaningless canyons.
Scattered along the canyon rims and mesa tops are a large number
of ruins. Where the building material has been good, such as lime-
stone or sandstone, the walls stand well. On the other hand, when
lava has furnished the material, little shows but a pile of stones.
36 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 104
Since Fewkes (1904) and Barrett (1926) described the major
ruins, space forbids a repetition. However, mention must be made of
the rectangular kivas which show particularly well at certain places,
viz, Ruin No. 373 and Ruin No. 379. At Ruin No. 377 a cattleman,
mistaking the kiva for a well, excavated it. Not finding water, he
continued digging. Now a shaft 60 feet or more deep reaches the
talus of the valley floor, and represents a futile attempt to get water.
The major ruins of the Citadel group with their well-preserved
walls should be protected from further inroads of wind and water.
They are included in the Wupatki National Monument.
ANTELOPE PRAIRIE
East of the Citadel, a broad grass-covered limestone plain extends
to the Doney Mountain escarpment. This plain is bounded on the
north by North Mesa and on the south by the dense cedars between
Hulls Canyon and Doney Mountain. Fourteen ruins were located
here, all of the familiar type of 2 to 8 roomed stone houses. Dams
were found in the shallow wash that follows the foot of North Mesa.
This part of the present dry range is grazed by antelope only; water
being too far away for stock and rainfall too light to fill artificial
tanks. (Fig. 13, sites 652, 678, and 682.)
WupPATtTKI BASIN
A geographical region of considerable unity comprises the red rock
country on the west side of the Little Colorado River extending from
Rodins Spring and the near-by crater on the south to Black Point on
the north (map No. 2, pl. 5). We call this region the Wupatki and
Rodin Basins. Although the red Moencopi sandstones and shales
outcrop in a narrow band along the Little Colorado for many miles,
here they widen out. The country is wild and desolate; mesas red
and bare rise above shallow canyons floored with black volcanic sand.
To the east, cliffs appear above the cottonwoods along the river.
The Doney Mountain escarpment and great lava-capped cliffs, half
buried in black sand dunes, bound the basin on the west.
On account of the water-holding quality of the Moencopi rocks,
the ancient people built numerous houses. Because the building
material was good and the rainfall light, these houses have stood well.
Here are found the best-preserved ruins in the whole Flagstaff region.
The basin is hard to get at. Although the northern portion at
Crack-in-the-Rock can be easily reached by automobile, and the
southern portion approached on foot from Grand Falls or Rodins
Spring, yet long stretches of black sand or precipitous lava cliffs
block every approach to the central and most interesting region. The
horse, therefore, is still the preferred mode of transportation to the
ruins of the Wupatki Basin.

The Wupatki Basin takes its name from the principal ruin (fig. 16),
called by J. C. Clarke, Wupatki (Hopi for long house). This double
ruin, first pictured by Sitgreaves in 1853 and later described and
figured by Fewkes (1904) and called by him Ruin A, Group B, is the

Its size should be mentioned. Fewkes
estimates 60 rooms, but this may be high, and from this number of
rooms deduces a population of from 150 to 200 souls. Be this as it
may, the ruin is larger than any other in the region except perhaps the ,
Citadel. (Fig. 15.) A walled-in spring (now dry) a few hundred
yards west of the ruin seems to have furnished the source of water
supply. A well-preserved and remarkable walled-in oval depression
lies on the canyon floor a couple of hundred yards west of the ruin

On the sandstone mesas about Wupatki are small house ruins of two
to four rooms.
North across the canyon stands No. 407, Ruin B of
Fewkes, while a mile and a half farther north rises No. 640, Ruin C
of Fewkes.
Ruin C of Fewkes proves to be the southernmost of some eighteen
ruins clustering about the mouth of Antelope Canyon, which here
bursts from the Doney Mountain escarpment. Although Fewkes
visited and described but one ruin, several others are notable enough
to deserve a word.
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 39
On a little bluff overlooking the Antelope Wash stands Ruin No.
625. Its shape and relation to the canyon rim on which it stands are
shown in Figure 17. Although six rooms show but one story, two of
them had at least two stories. The walls now stand 8 feet high. No
doors show in the first floor.
Three miles east of Wupatki, across a sandstone plain, can be seen
the tower of Wukoki, a prominent landmark.
Wukoki, the Tower House, No. 203, called by Fewkes (1904) Group
C, Ruin A, is the most picturesque ruin in the Flagstaff area. Stand-
ing three stories high, it dominates the red canyon cut plain. It is not
large, having but seven or eight rooms on the ground floor. Since
Fewkes has described it and figured it, little more can be added except
to plead for its conservation.
South of Wukoki on an island in a canyon lies Fewkes’s Group C,
Ruin B, No. 202, six rooms. The ruin is visible from Heisers

and the other series aiming at the door in the wall at the east end, is quite unusual in this region
Spring, being but a mile down the canyon. Since Fewkes has figured
and described it nothing more need be added.
The other ruins in the basin are interesting because their walls are
standing, but with the exception of doors (Ruin 636) and the water
holes west of No. 632, no outstanding characteristic can be mentioned.
Crack-in-the-Rock (fig. 18) is the most northern of the ruins that
can be included in the Flagstaff region. The great fault which runs
north from Doney Mountain, exhibiting itself in a steep escarpment
here, melts into a monocline and the Kaibab limestone which underlies
the prairies west of the Little Colorado steeply dips under the red
Moencopi. As we proceed east down the limestone slope a row of little
red cuestras or inclined mesas are found lying on the sloping limestone
floor. Although the northern cuestra bears no sign of a residence of
ancient man except his petroglyphs, the second one supports a well-
planned fort. This is Crack-in-the-Rock. South of Crack-in-the-
Rock are two or three other cuestras, each bearing ruins and covered

south wall, pierced by a little door, divides the mesa into two halves.
This middle wall of well-built masonry stands now over 8 feet high
and is punctured by seven loopholes. Four of these loopholes aim

at the little door in the east wall and three at a place on the north
side where the talus makes access to the mesa top easy.
Access to the top may be had in three places: Up a flight of steps
in a crack in the rock and through the door at the east end; up the
talus slope referred to above; and through a curious crack on the
south side. This leads upward from one of the nine rooms at the base
of the mesa, entering one of the rooms in the house on the mesa through
a hole in the floor. Although the masonry on the mesa top has been
well constructed, the small number of potsherds scattered about
indicates that the mesa was occupied but a short time. The large
number of stone chips on the site is most striking and indicates that
the place was used in time of trouble.
Ropin BAsIN
Geographically part of the Wupatki Basin and separated from it
by the remains of an old lava flow lies the Rodin Basin, watered by
three existing springs. In this basin are ruins, of which the most
notable is the fort 4 miles north of the Grand Falls, on the east rim
of the deep box canyon of the Little Colorado River. (Fig. 19.)
There is no ruin like this one in the whole region. A rectangle, 80
feet long on its north and south axis and 12 feet wide, with two door-
ways on the west side, has walls 3 to 4 feet thick and 4 feet 6 inches
high. (Fig. 20.) The walls were never higher and stand now much
as built. The most conspicuous character of the ruin is the loop-
holes in the walls; on the north end two loopholes, on the east side
19 loopholes, on the south end 2, and on the west side 14, as well as
one in each corner. The loopholes are in two tiers and so arranged
that 60 men could defend it against an enemy.
Mr. J. C. Clarke picked up two potsherds, but otherwise no trace
of the makers exists. The loopholes are larger than usual in the
neighboring Indian houses, being 8 by 12 inches. The masonry walls
are built without adobe mortar and consist of two, an outer and an
inner dry wall, the space between filled with fragments of limestone.
Except for the lack of mortar, the construction is much like other
work in the neighborhood. It is impossible to state at the present
time who the builders were. It might have been built by a company
of Spaniards for all we know, or may be the remains of an incident in
the Mormon migration of the seventies. Be that as it may, the place
was never a habitation. On the south end of the mesa a Pueblo II
cliff shelter has been recently found. This may be a clue to the
builders of the fort.
Across the river the red mesas bear a number of loopholed houses.
They are small, with one to two rooms, but on account of the low

NUMBER OF SITES
Over the entire area included in the survey, ruins were not found.
In most cases they are grouped about some present water supply
and in others about some water supply now lost or undeveloped.
If we study the 112 sections (square miles) which contain 610 Pueblo
III and late Pueblo II sites, we find that the density is as follows:
Occupied portion of Map No. 1—4.8 houses per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 2—4.0 houses per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 3—3.0 houses per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 4—8.3 houses per square mile.
For the whole occupied region—5.7 houses per square mile.
In terms of the 2,107 rooms the density was as follows:
Occupied portion of Map No. 1—19.1 rooms per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 2—12.3 rooms per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 3—8.5 rooms per square mile.
Occupied portion of Map No. 4—24.3 rooms per square mile.
For the whole occupied region—18.8 rooms per square mile.
If on:y one-tenth of the rooms were occupied at one time this would
represeat a population of at least 210 families.
This is true of a region now largely uninhabited but which in the
most favorable places supports less than 25 families who gain their
living, or at least part of it, from agriculture.
AGE OF RUINS
Since every one wishes to know the age of ruins, in 1918 the author
attempted to date the sites in the Flagstaff area following the se-
quence of dry and wet periods as determined by Douglass in the Flag-
staff area and Huntington and Douglass in the big trees in California.
(Huntington, 1914.) Since then Douglass has developed his method
of tree-ring chronology and has actually dated the following sites in
the Flagstaff area (Nat. Geog. Mag., Dec., 1928).
Pueblo III sites: Wupatki, 1087-1197; Citadel, 1192; Turkey
Hill, 1203-1278; Ruin J, 1192. In general Pueblo III extended from
about 1050 to 1300 A. D.; Pueblo IV, 1300-1600; Pueblo V, 1600 to
date.
A few Pueblo II sites have been dated about 900 A. D. So far no
dates are available for Pueblo I or earlier. We can but hope that
Doctor Douglass will find time to study the vast amount of good pine
charcoal that is now available, catalogued and stored in the Museum
of Northern Arizona.
COLTON] PREHISTORIC SITES NEAR FLAGSTAFF 45
SUMMARY
(1) This paper records 728 sites in the drainage areas of Walnut
Creek and Deadmans Wash; two tributaries of the Little Colorado
River draining the San Francisco Peaks.
(2) Eight types of houses have been recorded: Masonry pueblos,
forts, cavate dwellings, cliff shelters, masonry granaries, cave gran-
aries, pit houses, and vestibule houses.
(3) The common kiva is rectangular.
(4) Two large oval depressions called bowls are recorded.
(5) Twenty-two common pottery types are described.
(6) Four culture horizons have been recognized in the area covered
by this survey: Basket Maker III, Pueblo I, Pueblo II, and Pueblo
III. Pueblo IV is not represented.
(7) In the culture horizons Pueblo II and Pueblo III the pottery
complexes in the Walnut Creek drainage differ from those in Dead-
mans Wash.
(8) In general Basket Maker IT], Pueblo I, and Early Pueblo II
are found close to the Peaks or close to the river.
(9) In late Pueblo II and Pueblo III, sites are found thickly dis-
tributed from the Peaks to the river. This seems to be associated
with a fall of volcanic ash which occurred in middle Pueblo II times.
After the fall basaltic sand was used as tempering material in certain
wares.
(10) From this it is inferred that the sand made a mulch conserving
moisture and making agriculture possible over a wider area.
(11) By late Pueblo III times (1200) the ash had accumulated into
dunes or had been blown into the canyons, so that the surface of the
ground was bare once more; at this time again the sites are close to
the peaks or near the river.
(12) Agriculture by Hopi methods would be possible were the soil
mulched by a layer of sand.
(13) The numerous problems which have presented themselves can
only be solved by excavation. A beginning has been made and a
paper on Pueblo II pit houses is in preparation.

APPENDIX
This part of the report is an annotated list of all the sites visited.
This list is organized by geographic regions which correspond to the
text and the maps.
In tabular form the following information is concentrated:
(a) Serial number of site.
(6) Township north of Arizona base line.
(c) Range east of Gila and Salt River meridian.
(d) Number of section within the township.
(e) Kind of house: E. L., earth lodge; B. S., a boulder site which
may represent an earth lodge or pit house; Dep., a depression in the
ground, perhaps the site of a pit house or a kiva (?); Sh. A., area
covered by sherds with no house remains visible, which may be the
site of an earth lodge or pit house; St. H., stone house; Cav., a cave
hollowed out of brecchia under a lava flow; C. H., cliff shelter or
cliff house.
(f) Material: Lava; L. S., Kaibab limestone; SS., Moencopi red
sandstone.
(g) Estimates of number of rooms.
(h) Period: Pueblo I, II, or III.
(i) Remarks: Place where plans or illustrations may be found;
miscellaneous notes.
In 1923 when a large number of sites were recorded, culture strata
were not recognized and few sherds were collected. It can be
assumed with little chance of error that all stone houses with two or
more rooms belong to Pueblo III, and all sites with the symbols
E. L., B. S., and Sh. A. were Pueblo II or earlier.
Only four sites have been identified with late Pueblo III: Nos. 72,
142, 405, and 660.
