Coronado-era Place-names, II. “Chichilticale” and the Origin of the Name of the “Chiricahua” Mountains
A Coronado-era name, variously spelled as “Chichiltecally,” “Chichilticale,” etc., was applied in 1540 to a mountain range, a ruin, and the surrounding area in southeast Arizona. Today it is usually described as a Nahuatl word assigned to a red-colored pueblo ruin on the Coronado route to Cíbola. We note, however that the chronicler Jaramillo, with the lead portion of the Coronado expedition, assigned “Chichiltecally” solely to a mountain range a…
Coronado-era Place-names, I. Marcos de Niza in Sonora, and the Occurrence of Yaqui Names in his Relación
Two words used by Marcos de Niza in the first European report on travel north through Sonora (1539) ‘“Sayota” and “Vacapa”’ appear to be traceable to the Hiaki (Yaqui) language. Also, the Coronado expedition's assignment (1540) of the name “Yaquimi” to what is now called the Río Yaqui, in its middle stretch near Onavas, indicates the presence of Hiaki/Yaqui-speakers in that region. These results are used to constrain the likely region of Hiaki/Ya…
A Supposed Franciscan Exploration of Arizona in 1538
Historians have puzzled over early reports of a 1538 reconnaissance of the Sonora-Arizona region prior to the 1539 exploration of Sonora and Cibola by Fray Marcos de Niza's expedition. We show that the 1538 expedition is mythical and based on misunderstandings of the travels of Marcos, Governor Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, and associates, who departed Mexico City for the northern frontier in 1538. Contrary to several earlier historians, we conc…
Migrations in Late Anasazi Prehistory
Through detailed analysis of artifactual and architectural materials, several researchers, notably Woodson (1999), have inferred that certain late pueblo ruins in southeast Arizona were built by immigrants from northern Arizona. It has gone nearly unnoticed that this conclusion is specifically verified by testimony of members of the Coronado Expedition, who passed through the region in 1540. The most detailed account—apparently based on informati…
Space Exploration and Environmental Issues
New discoveries about materials and solar energy raise the possibility of a long-tenn shift of mining, refining, and manufacturing from Earth’s surface to locations outside Earth’s ecosphere, allowing Earth to begin to relax back toward its natural state. A little-discussed ambivalence toward the potential of space exploration exists among environmentalists. One camp sees it as a human adventure that may allow a bold initiative to improve Earth; …
Prehistoric Trail Systems and Related Features on the Slopes of Tumamoc Hill
A system of prehistoric trails is associated with the trincheras complex on Tumamoc Hill. It includes a rock-bordered “main trail” leading through the summit walls and down the north face toward the St. Mary's site (AZ AA: 16:26). The prehistoric date of this “main trail” is confirmed by sherd density counts. Subsidiary trails lead from the summit complex to work areas on saddles and ridges. Analysis of the trails in relation to sherds and other …
Juan De La Asunción, 1538
Cryptic discussions in early manuscripts refer to exploration several hundred leagues north of the Spanish frontier in 1538, a year before the famous journey of Fray Marcos de Niza, commonly described as the first northward exploration into Arizona. Discussed by Bandelier in 1890, these references have been given little attention by modern historians, although it has been said they imply the discovery of the Gila or Colorado River. Comparison of …
