Biographical Note
Paul Howard Ezell was born 12 August 1913 on a homestead in Carbon
County, Wyoming and moved west to Davis, California, with his parents around
1925. From Davis, he came to the University of Arizona, where he obtained his
master's degree in archaeology in 1939 and his PhD. in 1956. His dissertation,
The Hispanic Acculturation of the Gila River Pimas, was
published in 1961 as
Memoir no. 90 of the American Anthropological Association (
American Anthropologist, vol. 63, no. 5, part 2).
For a time, Ezell was field foreman on a W.P.A. archaeology project in
North Carolina, but in 1941, he was accepted into the Immigration Border Patrol
at El Paso, Texas. In 1943, he entered the Navy as a gunnery officer, returning
to the Border Patrol in Ajo, Arizona, after his stint. There, he used his time
to note the occurrence of archaeological sites.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Ezell worked for the Pima-Maricopa Indian tribe
and served as an expert witness, testifying before the Indian Claims Commission
in behalf of land claims made by the tribe against the United States
government. Toward that end, he examined virtually all of the available
material concerning the Pima-Maricopa Indians in the area. He also carried out
archaeological surveys and conducted ethnographic and oral history field work
among the Pima-Maricopa Indians.
Archaeological and historical studies of the Indians of southern
Arizona, southern California, northern Sonora, and northern Baja California
were Ezell's major interests during his career, along with field work in
Bolivia and archaeological excavations at the Spanish presidio of San
Diego.
Ezell died of cancer in his San Diego home 29 July 1988.
Scope and Content Note
The Papers in the first four series include Biographical Information;
Ezell's Diaries and Record Books from 1939-1964, detailing events and
information relevant to his activities with the United States Border Patrol,
his pilot flight record and log book, his archaeological activities, and his
work with the Pima-Maricopa Indian tribe; General Correspondence, chiefly
between Ezell and his professional contemporaries, from 1958-1975; and Writings
and Reviews written by Ezell and others, including published and unpublished
manuscripts and journal articles from 1950-1987.
The fifth series, Project Files from 1951 to 1982, contains information
on Organ Pipe National Monument and Painted Rock Reservoir, including material
on Lower Colorado buff ware and pottery types by site locations as well as hand
drawings of pottery designs, combinations, and elements; and information about
a W.P.A. archaeological project in North Carolina for which Ezell served as a
field supervisor in 1941.
The last series, Pima Land Claim Case Files from 1683-1974, contains
extensive material on the Pima Land Claims Case for which Ezell served as an
expert witness. Included are correspondence, both of a general nature and more
specifically between Ezell and lawyers Z. Simpson Cox and Alfred S. Cox;
transcripts of the court hearings; background materials which include
information in support of Ezell's work to substantiate the land claims of the
Pima-Maricopa tribe; reports containing photocopies of primary source materials
which were used as exhibits in Ezell's efforts to describe a tract of land
which he considered to have been used exclusively by the Pima-Maricopa Indians;
and research files containing photocopies of primary source material from the
Spanish, Mexican, and American periods concerning the Pima-Maricopa Indians in
Arizona. These research files are followed by microfilms and audiotapes.
The bulk of the microfilm contains copies of original source materials
from the Bancroft Library at the University of California, the Arizona
Historical Society, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, Archivo
General de la Nacion, the Escuela Nacional de Antropologia Biblioteca, the
Biblioteca Nacional Archivo Franciscano, and the Archivo General y Publico.
Ezell's indexes to the materials on microfilm are also included. Many of the
photocopies and English translations in the research files were made from
information contained on these microfilm rolls. The five reel-to-reel magnetic
tapes contain Pima, Papago, Yaqui, and Mexican Indian music, an interview done
by Ezell of Maricopa Indian Cyrus Sunn on 13 August 1957, and a word list given
by Kisto Morago of Sacaton, Arizona, using the word list furnished by Roger
Nedry in his work on the Papago. The cassette tape is primarily a discussion of
the artifacts and aboriginal tribes of Australia with Norman Tindale.
The photographic materials include 14 black and white photographs, most
of which were taken in 1957 at places occupied by the Pima-Maricopa Indians.
Also included are twenty-seven miscellaneous negatives. The bulk of the
fifty-two color slides document the burial site of Father Eusebio Kino and
missions in Arizona and Sonora. The maps are primarily of southern Arizona and
northern Sonora (Pimeria Alta) and contain historical and cultural information
relevant to the Pima-Maricopa Indians.

Chronology
Contains three cassette tapes of Paul and Greta Ezell as
interviewed by Bill Broyles on 16 and 17 October l987 at the Ezells' home in
Pacific Beach, California. This interview served as the framework for "Desert
Archaeology: An Interview with Paul H. Ezell, 1913-1988," which was published
in the
Journal of the Southwest, vol. 30, no. 3, Autumn 1988,
pp. 398-449. Although the contents of the tapes were edited and rearranged for
publication, the article is nevertheless a reasonable substitute for a
transcript. Also contains miscellaneous professional and retirement
information, including a survey of Ezell's investigations in progress in the
field of Latin American studies, a report of his research, and a curriculum
vitae dated October 1980.

The reports contain primarily photocopies of source documents
which were used as court exhibits in the Pima Land Claims Case. Among the
reports, a copy of the deposition of noted ethnologist Frederick W. Hodge,
given before the Indian Claims Commission on 17 Feb. 1956, can be found.
The research files contain photocopies of primary source material
concerning the Pima-Maricopa Indians in Arizona during the Spanish, Mexican,
and American periods. The first white man to actually make contact with the
Pimas and Maricopas was Eusebio Francisco Kino, a Jesuit who made four
expeditions into the Gila River area between 1694 and 1699. The logs and
diaries of the members of the Kino expeditions contain the first physical and
cultural descriptions of the Pimas and Maricopas. Throughout the eighteenth
century, there were more Spanish expeditions into the Gila River Valley. Of
note are the four expeditions led by Francisco Garces from 1769-1776. The
accounts of Garces and his companions Padre Pedro Font and Juan Bautista de
Anza describe their contacts with the Pimas and Maricopas. When Mexico declared
its independence from Spain in 1821, all of present-day Arizona came under
Mexican sovereignty. During this period, there were both Mexican and American
contacts with the Pimas and Maricopas. Lt. William H. Emory also made a
reconnaissance of the Gila River Valley and gave a comprehensive report on the
topography, flora, fauna, and peoples he encountered. In 1848, all Mexican
territory north of the Gila River was ceded to the U.S., and in 1853, the land
south of the Gila also became United States territory. From the time the U.S.
acquired the Pima-Maricopa lands, these Indians were hosts to thousands of
Americans, including California gold seekers and government agents who served
as boundary commissioners and Indian agents. Such people as John Bartlett and
Sylvester Mowry furnished accounts of the area during this period. The research
files contain photocopies of much of the material found in the Microfilm reels,
Boxes 16 and 17. English translations of many of the documents which were
originally written in Spanish are also included in the files.

magnetic tapes, and a cassette tape. The five reel-to-reel magnetic tapes
include Pima, Papago, Yaqui, and Mexican Indian songs, the Nedry word list of
Pima and Papago words, and an interview of Cyrus Sunn, a Maricopa Indian, by
Paul Ezell on 13 August 1957. The interview tells of the migration of the
Maricopas from the Colorado River to the Middle Gila River area in the 1800s.
Ezell's comments about the information contained on the tape can be found on
page 33 of his diary from April 1957 to February 1, 1964. The cassette tape,
labeled Andale, Tindale and Hayden, contains some music and a discussion of the
artifacts of aboriginal tribes of Australia with Norman Tindale.

The outstanding cartographic items are a group of nine oversize
maps prepared by Paul Ezell and Alfonso Ortiz in June 1962. The maps are of the
southern portion of the state of Arizona, based on the U.S.G.S. Arizona shaded
relief map of 1955. They contain information concerning Pima and Maricopa place
names, hunting and fishing areas, food and plant-gathering areas, Pima-Maricopa
stock raising areas, miscellaneous land use areas, Pima-Maricopa territory, and
Spanish exploration in the Gila-Pima area. In addition, the series contains 12
hand-drawn or traced maps. One map shows comparisons of Indian cultures and
tidewater change along the Colorado River as noted by various explorers over
time, ranging from Castillo in 1541 to Lumholtz in 1912. Another map is a
photocopy of a reconnaissance map of the Colorado River by Major General P.F.
Smith in 1851.
Other maps include the Lower Gila River, showing historical data
relating to the Maricopa Indians from 1699-1860, Garces' 1774 route, and Father
Kino's explorations in Pimeria Alta. There is a road trail and developed area
plan map for Organ Pipe National Monument as well as a topographical map of the
Arizona-California Needles Quadrangle and other maps pertaining to the Pima
Land Claim Case. Maps of Arizona and Maricopa County and a map of southern
Arizona and northern Sonora drawn by Madelon Ezell in 1955 round out the
collection.
