Dr Martin seeks Mogollon Indians moves 600 years ago
Chicago museum anthropologists led an expedition to track displaced Mogollon Indians long thought to wander New Mexico and Arizona 600 years ago. The team found no battle evidence and noted an orderly departure around 1350 with portable goods, hinting at a westward move into Arizona. A summer 1956 expedition is planned to confirm the theory.
