Land Use, Looting, and Archaeology in Chihuahua, Mexico
Land Use, Looting, and Archaeology in Chihuahua, Mexico: A Speculative History Jane H. Kelley (bio), David A. Phillips Jr. (bio), A.C. MacWilliams (bio), and Rafael Cruz Antillón (bio) The present state of archaeological resources forms the baseline for thinking about the past. Archaeologists tend to think in terms of what they encounter on or in the ground, or in collections. The way in which archaeological resources reached their current state …
Reconsidering the Size and Structure of Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico
The site of Casas Grandes (or Paquimé) in northwest Chihuahua, Mexico, originally was estimated to contain some 2,300 rooms, placing it at the top of known prehispanic pueblo sizes. Its rooms were seen as arranged in blocks of as many as five stories, forming a vast, U-shaped pueblo. This room count and configuration are cited often in the past and present literature. We contend that Casas Grandes originally was interpreted in the most liberal te…
The diffusion of maize to the southwestern United States and its impact
Our understanding of the initial period of agriculture in the southwestern United States has been transformed by recent discoveries that establish the presence of maize there by 2100 cal. B.C. (calibrated calendrical years before the Christian era) and document the processes by which it was integrated into local foraging economies. Here we review archaeological, paleoecological, linguistic, and genetic data to evaluate the hypothesis that Proto-U…
The Viejo Period of Chihuahua Culture in Northwestern Mexico

A.D. 1200-1450), with substantial adobe pueblo villages and towns, and ceramics that included elaborate polychrome wares, occurred over a vast region in western and northern Chihuahua and northeastern Sonora. It was also recognized that the preceding Viejo period, with pithouse and wattl…
