Abstract

In Ruin No. 2 of the Homolobi group near Winslow, Arizona, a square kiva was excavated in 1962. Paintings of two kachinas and a symbol were found on the west wall. White stripes were painted on the bench at one end of the room. The rest of the kiva exhibited characteristics typical of the region. Twenty bowls, two ladles, two ollas, and an arrow straightener were found inside the kiva. Some of the vessels were stacked with care in inverted positions, while others showed signs of blackening by fire after breakage. Most of the pottery is Jeddito Black-on-yellow of the Pueblo IV period.
