PROJECT Charles C. Di Peso.

CASAS GRANDES, a three-volume set, is the fascinating narrative of the monumental excavation and research which have been accomplished by The Amerind Foundation over the past fifteen years. Dr. Charles Di Peso and his colleagues have proposed new and unique theories concerning the people of the Gran Chichimeca and the development, dissemination and decline of their cultures. This massive publication, documenting one of the most significant of archaeological investigations, will be a landmark of...

"The archaeological zone of Casas Grandes lies within this unknown expanse. Its cultural core is that prehistoric metropolis of which Bandelier counseled: I also venture to suggest that the earliest possible date the ruins of Casas Grandes be thoroughly investigated, since excavations, if systematically conducted, cannot fail to produce valuable results." -Bandelier, A.D. 1892 Comments such as these kindled the flame of curiosity and directed the Amerind Foundation, Inc., to turn its...

It is believed that sometime around the year A.D. 1060 a group of sophisticated Mesoamerican merchants came into the valley of the Casas Grandes and inspired the indigenous Chichimecans to build the city of Paquime over portions of an older Viejo Period village. These foreign donors may have been drawn here by specific information supplied to them by their family-affiliated spying vanguards, who perhaps lived with the frontiersmen during the last phase of the Viejo Period. These organizers who...

The Chichimecan Revolt of the 1340s tore asunder the weakened body politic of the Paquime province and in so doing radically changed the settlement pattern in the old kingdom. In the Robles Phase, the city, along with some satellite villages in the Casas Grandes Valley, was abandoned and the political power, as well as the economic wealth, shifted to such northerly towns as were located in the Zuni, Hopi, Mogollon, and the eastern Anasazi-Chichimecan homelands. Some of the Paquime artisans may...

In the case of The Joint Casas Grandes Expedition, correlating the past in terms of the Christian calendar required considerable assistance from members of many other scientific disciplines who were not directly involved with the actual excavations. This scholastic absenteeism created a few communication problems, but in every case the effort of informative dialogue proved very worthwhile, inasmuch as it led to the re-creation of a Paquimian historical continuum, which was one of the primary...

The serpentine mound after which Unit 11 was named was located in Blocks 22 and 23, extending slightly into Block 24, of the Sanchez Bjanco map. To the E, in Blocks 32, 33, 42, and 43, was the house-cluster. Unit 11 was entirely surrounded by an open expanse, with Unit 10 to the NE and Reservoir 2 further to the E. The house-cluster measured 68.30 m. in length on the N-S axis and 56.80 m. in width on the E-W axis, an area of 3,200 sq. m. Included within the house-cluster were 25 single story...

During the course of excavations a total of 885 bone artifacts was recovered. Four (0.5%) of these were in Viejo Period association, 877 (99.1%) belonged to the Medio Period, and four (0.5%) to the San Antonio Phase of the Espafioles Period. All of the Viejo Period specimens were utilitarian implements and included a plaiting tool, a coarse coil basketry awl, and two other awls with broken tips. These were simply made, undecorated items- three were splinter tools and one was a split grooved...
