Casas Grandes (or Paquimé), in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico, is the largest and possibly the most complex community in the prehistoric Pueblo world. The literature is, and always has been, dominated by models that attribute the origin of this center to impulses coming from outside of the region. These arguments rest on the assumptions that the Casas Grandes area was underpopulated before the development of the center, and that there was little cultural continuity between Casas Grandes and its local predecessors. We use old and new data to argue against both of these ideas and in favor of in situ development of the center of Casas Grandes
