Site Summary: Homol'ovi is a Hopi word for "place of the low hills or mounds." Homol'ovi Ruins State Park was founded to preserve a series of Ancestral Hopi sites located along the Little Colorado River. Two of the largest villages, Homol'ovi I and Homol'ovi II, are open to the public.
Homol'ovi I was occupied from AD 1275 to 1375, and Homol'ovi II was occupied from AD 1350 to AD 1400.
These villages, though damaged by pot-hunting, are excellent examples of why the term Anasazi is no longer used. These villages are direct links between the Hopi peoples and Ancestral Puebloan sites. |
