Site 104 Shown as archaeological site on Loud's map
but given by Merriam as a village. Allow 2
houses.
Site 109 Merriam. Estimate 3 houses.
Site 112 P. 269. The village had 10 houses and at
least 51 inhabitants before the massacre of
1860.
Other sites In addition to the above sites found by Loud
there are five listed by name by Merriam.
These should be included and assigned an
average of 3 houses each. The total then
would be 15.
TABLE 4
_Wiyot Settlements_
_Mad River and Humboldt Bay_
Wiyot settlements according to Loud, Merriam, and Nomland and Kroeber,
covering the Mad River and Humboldt Bay. The key designations are those
given by Loud. The house counts are from Loud with the exception of
sites B and C which are from Nomland and Kroeber and of several sites
from Merriam for which I have made my own estimates (indicated by the
letters _Mp._). In all instances where a range is given by informants
(e.g., 2-4 houses) the mean is placed in the table.
