Casas Grandes and the Chaco Canyon Cultures (1975)
As early as 1936, Edgar L. Hewett suggested that there might have been some sort of temporal relationship between Casas Grandes, in Chihuahua, Mexico, and such Chaco settlements as Pueblo Bonito, del Arroyo, and Chetro Ketl, in New Mexico. He recognized the obvious differences in terms of ceramics, architectonics, and historical background which marked these two entities, but still felt that there was some common time denominator. Most of his contemporaries, however, believed that the city of...
Casas Grandes: A Fallen Trading Center of the Gran Chichimeca
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...
Casas Grandes: A Fallen Trading Center of the Gran Chichimeca, Volume 1, Preceramic - Viejo Periods (1974)
"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...
Casas Grandes: A Fallen Trading Center of the Gran Chichimeca, Volume 2, Medio Period (1974)
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...
Casas Grandes: A Fallen Trading Center of the Gran Chichimeca, Volume 3, Tardio and Espanoles Periods (1974)
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...
