Abstract
Haury's excavations at Mogollon and Harris Villages lead him to recognize the Mogollon tradition as its own culture and separate from Hohokam or Basketmaker. This document is a synopsis of the original reports and it describes the findings from these villages such as the architecture, the artifacts, and the burials. Metric data from the skeletal remains was used to differentiate the people of these villages from the Hohokam, the Basketmakers, and the Pueblo Indians and others. Comparisons were also made between the artifacts and the architecture of the Hohokam and other Indian groups. Tree ring dates from the houses at Mogollon Village supplied the first dates for the Mogollon tradition.
