Homolovi

Homol’ovi is a group of ancestral Hopi villages on the floodplain of the Little Colorado River. Its people grew maize, beans, squash and cotton, and the villages appear in Hopi accounts of migration. Homol’ovi II, one of the largest settlements, had more than seven hundred rooms and was occupied during the fourteenth century. Cotton helped connect its inhabitants with a wider network of exchange, while pottery from the Hopi mesas reached the village.
