In the region south and southwest of Dove Creek there are several large
pueblo ruins, indicated by mounds formed of trimmed stone, eolean sand,
and clay from plastering, which have certain characters in common.
Each mound is a large heap of stones (pl. 3, _a_) near which is a
depression or reservoir, with smaller heaps which in different ruins
show the small buildings of the unit type. These clusters or villages
are somewhat modified in form by the configuration of the mesa surface.
The larger have rectangular forms regularly disposed in blocks with
passageways between them or are without any definite arrangement.
