Homolovi 1 Ruin Sign
Homolovi 1 Ruin sign in 1986.
From 1250 to 1400 A.D. a 250 room Indian village flourished here. The three story pueblo and rectangular plaza were occupied by farmers, artisans, and traders who were probably ancestors of the modern Hopi Indians. Homolovi meaning "located on a high place" in Hopi, was one of several large prehistoric communities along the Little Colorado river. Discovered by J.W. Fewkes in the 1890's, illegal digging in the ruin to steal artifacts has destroyed irreplaceable scientific information,. Protective actions taken by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Mangaement include fencing, erosion control and site patrol. Federal and state laws prohibit destruction and the theft of archeological resources. Please help preserve our history for future public enjoyment.
