Research
With the backing and funding of Gladwin Gila Pueblo was able to do excavations and research throughout the Southwest. One of the most important contributions made by people working for Gila Pueblo was defining the Hohokam culture. One of the people inviolved in this definition was the young Emil Haury. In 1930 Haury became the assistant director of Gila Pueblo. Another accomplishment made by Gila Pueblo was the defining of the Cochise Culture.
In 1950 Gila Pueblo shut down and donated its collection to the Arizona State Museum. The records are held by the Arizona State Museum Library & Archives with the finding aid located on Arizona Archives Online. The building in which the foundation was located is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“To be sure, nothing is more important to the integrity of the universities ... than a rigorously enforced divorce from war- oriented research and all connected enterprises.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
