Decorated, textured wares found at prehispanic agricultural village sites in the mountainous, or serrana zone of northeastern Sonora, Mexico, have been viewed as indicators of an occupation no earlier than about A.D. 1000. However, recent research conducted in the upper Bavispe Valley, combined with previous “anomalous” discoveries, indicates a different trajectory for this area. At the site of Atravesaño de Lencho (CHIH C:9:24) in the Bavispe Valley, one locus is dominated by a distinct brushed and red slipped ceramic type. An associated radiocarbon date has a one sigma calibrated date range of A.D. 474 (542) 600. Furthermore, similar pottery and similar dates associated with textured wares have been found elsewhere in Sonora, suggesting that a distinct textured ceramic tradition began about 500 years earlier than previously recognized. The local and large-scale implications of this longer decorated ceramic tradition in northeastern Sonora are discussed.AbstractEl hallazgo de cerámica decorada y texturizada, en los sitios prehispánicos agrícolas en la zona serrana del noreste de Sonora, México, se ha visto como un indicador de una ocupación posterior al año 1000 d.C. Sin embargo, investigaciones recientes en el Alto Valle Bavispe sugieren una trayectoria diferente para esta área. El sitio Atravesaño de Lencho (CHIH:C:9:24), tiene una sección donde predomina un tipo cerámico rojo escobillado. Esta sección tiene una fecha del radiocarbón de 474 (542) 600 d.C., calibrada con un rango de un sigma. Además, se han encontrado cerámicas y fechas similares asociadas con losas texturizadas en otras partes de Sonora, sugiriendo que una nueva tradición de cerámicas texturizadas inició 500 años antes que la fecha aceptada anteriormente. En este artículo se discuten las implicaciones locales y de gran escala de esta larga tradición de cerámica decorada en el noreste de Sonora
