Most of the buildings have fallen in and form six or eight large mounds, the highest of which is about twenty feet above the ground.

Low mesquite bushes have taken root along the mounds and between the ruins.

The remaining walls are sufficiently well preserved to give us an idea of the mode of building employed by the ancients.

At the outskirts of the ruined village the houses are lower and have only one story, while in its central part they must have been at one time at least four stories high.

They were not palaces, but simply dwellings, and the whole village, which probably once housed 3,000 or 4,000 people, resembles, in its general characteristics, the pueblos in the Southwest, and, for that matter, the houses we excavated from the mounds.
