Abstract

I was asked to evaluate Mogollon from the perspective of the Colorado Plateau. Historically, Mogollon was disengaged from the original Basketmaker-Pueblo paradigm of Southwestern prehistory only with difficulty. In these days of Mogollon Conferences, we tend to forget that many eminent scholars vigorously resisted the concept of Mogollon. Many considered it to be Anasazi either diluted or enriched by contact with the Hohokam. Haury, Martin, and their colleagues labored for a quarter century to achieve for Mogollon a status comparable to that of Anasazi and Hohokam. That equality emerged in the 1960s as a result of the painstaking accumulation of data that revealed an archaeological pattern distinct from those patterns that characterized Hohokam and Anasazi.
