Banderas Bay, Nayarit Report (1972)
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...

Colonial Exchange Systems and the Decline of Paquime (1980)
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...
Consolidated Canal, Chandler Power Plant - AZ-55-B - Written Historical and Descriptive Data, Photographs (2023)
