Biographical Note
In 1928, Mr. Harold Gladwin and Mrs. Winifred Jones MacCurdy (later married to Gladwin), two wealthy
individuals interested in archaeology, bought land near Globe, Arizona, from Helen and Charles M. Healy
who owned an insurance business in Globe. The prehistoric Gila Pueblo ruin was located on their acreage.
On this site, Gladwin established the Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation, one of the earliest
institutions doing archaeological surveying and research in the Southwest. This private foundation employed
professional archaeologists whose research was published in the Foundation's scholarly journal, The
Medallion Papers. Their work was instrumental in defining the Hohokam, Mogollon, San Simon and Cochise
cultures and in describing early pottery types including Hohokam red-on-buff, Salado polychrome, Casas Grandes
and others. From 1928 to 1950, the Foundation sponsored the exploration of over 8000 sites throughout the
Southwest United States as well as several other states and Northern Mexico. Thirty ruins were fully studied
including Snaketown, Harris Ruin, and Tusayan Ruin in the Grand Canyon National Park.
Harold Gladwin began excavating the Gila Pueblo ruin in Globe in 1928 and then constructed a new
facility for his foundation using some of the old walls. This organization was responsible for the
excavation of Snaketown and many other sites. Harold and Winifred Gladwin and A.V. Kidder were the
trustees of Gila Pueblo. Harold Gladwin was the Director of Gila Pueblo and Emil Haury was the Assistant
Director. They traveled through the Southwest to determine the boundaries of Hohokam culture. Snaketown,
located southwest of Chandler, Arizona, was at that time a Pima settlement of about fifty persons. This
site was selected for excavation because it lay in the center of the Hohokam culture area and had not been
spoiled by vandals. Work was begun on September, 27, 1934 under the direction of Emil W. Haury. The Chief
Assistant was E.B. Sayles. Other excavators were Erik Reed and Irwin and Julian Hayden. Dorothea Kelly
worked on textile analysis.
In 1950, during the tenure of Emil W. Haury as the head of the Department of Anthropology at the
University of Arizona, the Gila Pueblo Foundation was dissolved and its collections, comprised of over
50,000 artifacts, were donated to the University of Arizona. In addition, the museum building and
laboratories at Globe, the display cases, furniture, library, and all equipment and records were gifted by
Mr. and Mrs. Harold S. Gladwin to the University of Arizona to be cared for by the Arizona State Museum.
Collections actually arrived in Tucson in 1951. Later, the Gila Pueblo buildings were acquired by the National
Park Service and became the Southwest Archaeological Center from 1950 to 1971. They are now occupied by the
Gila Community College (formally the Globe Campus/Eastern Arizona College).
Scope and Content Note
The records of the Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation cover many aspects of its activities from
1928 until 1951 when almost the entire holdings of the Foundation were donated to ASM. The collection
consists of 13 boxes of site survey records (detail sheets), 8 boxes of photographs of sites, 3 boxes of
field notes, 4 boxes of Snaketown records, 1 box of the collections catalog, 5 boxes of sherd board
photographs, 3 boxes of analysis and reports, 3 boxes of correspondence, and 2 boxes of business records.
Particular strengths of the collection are the extensive Snaketown files, the unique sherd board type
specimens, and documentation of the financial and real estate activities of the Foundation. Missing from
the collection are early records of the formation of the collections, personnel files, records of exchanges
with other collectors and museums, and research and writing files belonging to Gladwin. Dr. Emil Haury,
ASM director at the time of the donation, wrote that “only a fraction of documentary material was included" in the collections transferred to ASM.
Access to specific information about the nature and location of archaeological resources may be restricted
pursuant to the United States Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 (ARPA) and Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 39-125. ARPA includes
a specific exemption from the the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requirements for information about the nature and location of archaeological
resources (16 U.S. Code 470hh: Confidentiality of information concerning the nature and location of archaeological resources).

The Arizona State Museum may not own copyright to all
parts of this collection. It is the responsibility of the user to obtain
permission to publish from the owner of the copyright (the institution, the
creator of the record, the author or his/her transferees, heirs, legates, or
literary executors). The user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Arizona
Board of Regents for the University of Arizona, Arizona State Museum, its
officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims made by any person
asserting that he or she is an owner of copyright.
The ASMLA Control file contains correspondence and acquisition records, records of research use, early inventories, and information compiled by ASM staff. Some of this added information concerns the initials on detail sheets, blank detail sheets, and information on sites in Mexico.
Typed artifact catalog cards (possibly produced by the Museum) contain information on which artifacts were sent to other institutions and which were destroyed. These cards are part of the ASM Collections Division files.
Information about the later Snaketown project (1964 to 1965) directed by Emil Haury is in ASMLA Record Group 5, Subgroup 3.
For George Woodbury skeletal analysis see A-folder 0005.
Archaeological artifacts material collected by Gila Pueblo is in the ASM Collections Division along with the associated GP artifact catalog cards. Other objects such as office furniture, typewriters, laboratory equipment, and darkroom equipment from the Gila Pueblo building were moved to Tucson but may not have been retained.
Photographic documentation of Gila Pueblo and its projects and collections is part of the ASM Photography Collection. This includes photographs, negatives, lantern slides, and a Balopticon projector.
Hodges site material, which was assembled by Isabel T. Kelly from 1937 to 1939 under the auspices of Mr. and Mrs. Wetmore Hodges and Gila Pueblo, is in MS 31 Hodges Site records.
Other related collections are McEuen Cave (ASM ACC 35) and James Simmons papers in numerous A-folder collections.
Some Gila Pueblo field data is in the E.B. Sayles Collection, MS 1.
Some Gila Pueblo skeletal analysis is in the George Woodbury Papers, A-0005.
The original I.F. Flora maps are in the Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research at the University of Arizona. Photocopies of these maps are in the oversize flat file drawer for MS 15.
Paintings done by Ted Amsden between c. 1929-1936 commissioned by the Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation to illustrate its publication series The Medallion Papers are stored in the ASM Collections Division. Scans of these 18 paintings are available through the Arizona Memory Project at http://azmemory.azlibrary.gov/cdm/
Books originally in the offices and laboratories of the Gila Pueblo and in the home of Harold Gladwin were donated to the University of Arizona. They cover a broad range of subjects including archaeology, Egyptology, Middle East sites, and excavations almost anywhere in the late nineteenth century up to the1950s. The books became part of the Main Library, Special Collections, and the ASM Library. Only a partial inventory of these publications exists. Some of the volumes have the distinctive Gila Pueblo bookplate to prove ownership, and others do not.
The field notes for the Harris/Mimbres site were done by Emil Haury and his students, Laboratory of Anthropology scholarship holders.

Dewey Peterson was Haury's cowboy guide on the Sierra Ancha survey. He was also hired by Gladwin to survey in Cherry Creek country, between Cherry Creek and Canyon Creek.
Avery Amsden operated a hotel in Farmington. His two sons, Monroe and Ted, did survey work. Ted was also an artist and did illustrations on Southwest pottery types for the Medallion Papers. Monroe surveyed in Sonora, Mexico. A third son, Charlie, wrote Medallion Paper number 23, An Analysis of Hohokam Pottery Design. Charlie later worked for the Southwest Museum and was vice-president of the Society for American Archaeology.
These files contain official Gila Pueblo site survey forms (also known as detail sheets) written by a large number of staff and associates identified by their initials. Individuals include Harold S. Gladwin (HSG), Winifred MacCurdy (WM), Edith Sangster (ES), Emil W. Haury (EWH), and Russell Hastings (RH), Dewey Peterson (Haury's cowboy guide on the Sierra Ancha survey), Avery, Monroe, and Ted Amsden, and many others.
The typed and handwritten forms are filed alphabetically by the GP quad map name regardless of what state they are in. Researchers should also remember that some GP quads/maps are split by various political boundaries, as for example San Simon:9 is partly in Arizona and partly in New Mexico. Also included are notes, letters, lists, maps and sketches. Each data sheet indicates whether or not photographs were taken. The photographs are filed separately in Series 2.
Consists of small black and white photographs mounted on heavy notebook paper. Occasionally the photographs have information about the weather, the camera's aperture setting and exposure time in addition to a hand-written caption such as "“the crest of the ruin looking north-east. A few have hand-written field notes tucked underneath the print.
Like the detail sheets, the photographs are arranged alphabetically by the quad map names regardless of what state they are in.

Flat file drawer
Oversize maps from a variety of sites and quads. Includes oversize pottery chart from Harris Site.
Consists of field notes and ledgers, correspondence, reports, detailed house plans, and other documentation for the Snaketown 1934 to 1935 project. These materials were originally organized before the ASM Archives existed. They were filed in separate file drawers and not kept together as a unit. This inventory results from reunifying dispersed materials.
There are differences between the handwritten and typed versions of the field notes. (The originals are in Series 5, box 28, folder 8.) Most of the artifacts recovered in the second season are listed in the field catalog. Additional artifacts are recorded in the original collection catalog in Series 5. Missing Gila Pueblo numbers refer to non-Snaketown sites. See Gila Pueblo cards in Collections Department for catalog cards. House plans are in Box 26, but data is not complete for every house or block.
All original archives documents part of the MS 15 Gila Pueblo Archaeological Foundation Records, 1928-1950, Series 4: Snaketown, 1934-1935, were transferred to the Huhugam Heritage Center, Gila River Indian Community as part of a transfer of archaeological repository collections.
