Inscription.
Nalakihu - A modern Hopi name, "House Outside the Village"
Farmers lived here about 800 years ago. (Roof beams gave tree ring dates in the late 1100s.) The way the walls join show this small pueblo was not built all at once, but was added onto. Roof remains indicated parts were two stories high. The pottery seems the same as that from the large ruin on the rock ahead, so these pueblos may have been lived in at the same time.
You may enter the rooms, but remember, old walls are fragile, even when we have strengthened them. Don't hurt the ruins or yourself. This is a National Park area preserved for visitors and for scientific investigation. Please treat it carefully.
Erected by National Park Service.
