The purpose of this report is to investigate the area of Punta de Mita, "Place of the Arrows," located on the southern fringe of the coast of Nayarit, below the 21st parallel. It is believed that this vicinity, which forms the northern fringe of Banderas Bay, may contain remains of a culture that had a direct relationship with Casas Grandes prior to A.D. 1060. This supposition is, in part, based upon the fact that this is the restricted habitat of the molluscan species, Persicula Bandera Coan...

The purpose of this survey was to make entre into Chihuahua, Mexico with the assistance of Mr. Edward Richardson, a Mormon, age 73, born in Colonia Diaz and reared in the country. He is very well acquainted with the Mormon colonies of Dublan, Colonia Juarez, and Pacheco. Included in this report are the names of people who may be of assistance in gathering materials and information from this area when necessary. Collections can be made through these people and gathered by Richardson or a member...

We suggest that the failure of Casas Grandes was inevitable. In the absence of advanced transportation technology, a monopolistic dendritic exchange system failed to develop. In its place, the administered market system was inadequate to control the local economies beyond the Casas Grandes province. Stimulated by Casas Grandes, the local economies eventually began to compete with the merchant-priests. While such competition may not have been large scale, its cumulative effect would have been...

Understanding Paquime' s internal development is important to regional prehistory, but the sheer amount of published data deters attempts to interpret the site's construction history. The challenge can be reduced to a workable size by examining individual architectural units within the site. By way of illustration, a re-study of Unit 11 (House of the Serpent) indicates that its construction history may differ somewhat from the original published account. The approach used in the re-study is...

The skeletal series recovered from Casas Grandes, Chihuahua is described and compared to samples of living Papago, Hopi, and Navajo Indians for several non-metrical dental traits (incisor shoveling, canine tuberculum dentale, maxillary molar hypocone, Carabelli's Trait, mandibular molar cusp pattern protostylid, cusp 6, cusp 7, and mandibular premolar lingual cusp number). To quantify the biological relationships between these groups Smith and Berry's mean measure of divergence (Berry, 1968) is...

Arrangements of temporally sequential pottery types have been a backbone of southwestern archaeology for over seventy-five years. Indeed, the region has been the setting for much of the debate over ceramic systematics within Americanist archaeology (Lyman et al. 1997). Since the first Pecos conference in 1927, much of the early archaeological work in the region was explicitly geared towards establishing such ceramic series. In later years, these sequences provided the chronological framework...

Faunal assemblages recovered from Site 315 and Site 355, located in the Casas Grandes region of northwest Chihuahua, Mexico, provided much needed information concerning the utilization of animal resources by the inhabitants of small Medio period (A.D. 1200 – 1450) pueblos surrounding Paquime. The analysis of the animal remains recovered from the two sites produced contrasting results. The Site 315 assemblage was dominated by lagomorph remains, although richness of taxa within the assemblage...
