An early pit house village of the Mogollon culture, Forestdale Valley, Arizona
Mogollon culture in the Forestdale Valley, east-central Arizona, [by] Emil W. Huary • Tucson, Arizona • Published In 1985 • Pages: 281-371
By: Haury, Emil W. (Emil Walter), Sayles, E. B. (Edwin Booth).
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Haury excavated at the Bluff Site when archaeologists were just beginning to realize there was a separate archaeological tradition in eastern Arizona that was not Hohokam nor Anasazi. This document is one of the ones that proved the existence of the Mogollon. Therefore a portion of this document is spent comparing the remains found here with other cultures in order to distinguish it from them. The Bluff site is an early pithouse village. This document describes the excavations and analysis of the architectural remains and the artifacts and faunal material. The only floral material found was the charred hulls of black walnuts although Haury infers that corn was grown based on the types of metate found.
