Biographical Note
Julian D. Hayden was born in 1911 in Missoula, Montana, raised in Riverside,
California and came to Arizona in 1929 where he remained until he passed
away in Tucson, March 6, 1998. Julian received an Associate of Arts from
Riverside Junior College prior to moving to Pueblo Grande Archaeological Park.
Julian spent much of his life promoting and protecting the Sierra Pinacate
in northern Sonora, Mexico, although he made significant contributions to
Hohokam and southwestern Arizona archaeology.
Julian began his archaeological field experiences when he and his Harvard
trained father, Irwin Hayden excavated the Grewe ruin and Compound F at
Casa Grande Ruins for the Los Angeles County Museum. Irwin and Julian
also worked together at Mesa House in southern Nevada with M.R. Harrington,
at Kiet Siel in Northern Arizona and with Harold Gladwin and Emil Haury
in 1934-1935 at Snaketown in southern Arizona. Julian supervised much of
the work at Mound 29 at Snaketown. It was at Snaketown Julian met his wife,
Helen Pendleton. Julian and Helen had two sons and two daughters together.>
While at Pueblo Grande Julian became involved in excavating and taking notes
and photographs for the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) project, under the
direction of Odd Halseth. Julian quickly advanced from student technician
to junior foreman. In May 1938, Julian was promoted to senior foreman, much
to the surprise of the National Park Service, since Julian had no formal
academic training.
From 1936 to 1940 Julian supervised the excavation of hundreds of archaeological
features; the CCC crews excavated more than 50 rooms in the area, which remains
one of the most systematic excavations of a Hohokam platform mound ever undertaken.
Julian’s field notes, sketches and 700+ photographs are featured in numerous
publications, including Archaeology of the Pueblo Grande Platform Mound and
Surrounding Features, C.E. Downum and T.W. Bostwick, eds., Pueblo Grande Museum
Anthropological Papers No. 1, 1994. Julian also published multiple articles about
the ancient Southwest and contributed his knowledge to ethnographic studies
regarding Tohono O’Odham. He received the Don Crabtree Award for Avocation
Archaeology in 1988 and in 1992 was honored by Friends of Pronatura for his
lifelong advocation of the Sierra Pinacate region. He also served as president
for the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society.
