Extract

The westernmost of the great Pueblo IV sites of the Jeddito Valley is Awatovi, occupied through the exploration and mission periods to 1700. The next upstream is Kawaika-a, inhabited, on the basis of archaeological evidence, at least to the end of the fifteenth century: a tree-ring date of A.D. 1495. Historical evidence has been thought to indicate sixteenth-century occupation of Kawaika-a, and destruction by Tovar in 1540. It has even been taken to show that Kawaika-a was sparsely repopulated by 1583, and finally deserted only between that date and 1598.

Hodge (p. 56) translates Jaramillo as saying “five little villages besides this,” Hammond and Rey (op. cit., p. 298) give “five small pueblos including this one.” There is no apparent evidence that Pinnawa or any other possible seventh city of Cibola was still occupied in 1540 (Hodge, op. cit., p. 57, and Leslie Spier, An Outline for the Chronology of Zuni Ruins, American Museum of Natural History, Anthropological Papers, Vol. 8, No. 3, 1917, p. 271), though the forthcoming restudy of Dr. Spier's material by Dale S. King may conceivably produce such evidence.
