Sikyátki, Archaeological site in Navajo County, Arizona, United States.
The Sikyátki site extends over 40,000 square meters on the eastern side of First Mesa, containing remnants of ancient Hopi buildings and pottery artifacts.
The Kokop clan inhabited this settlement from the 14th to 17th century until conflict with the nearby Walpi village led to its destruction in 1625.
The site yielded numerous ceramic pieces with distinctive polychrome designs featuring bird motifs in black, red, and white against yellow or orange backgrounds.
The archaeological excavations conducted by Jesse Walter Fewkes in 1895 uncovered multiple well-preserved pottery fragments that remain significant for research purposes.
The name Sikyátki translates to Yellow House in the Hopi language, referring to the yellow sandstone used in constructing the four-story buildings.
