Long Distance Interaction in Viejo Period Casas Grandes Jaron Troy Davidson A thesis submitted to the faculty of Brigham Young University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Michael T. Searcy, Chair John E. Clark Zachary Chase Department of Anthropology Brigham Young University Copyright © 2020 Jaron Troy Davidson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Long Distance Interaction in Viejo Period Casas Grandes Jaron Troy Davidson Department of Anthropology, Brigham Young University Master of Arts This research addresses how interregional interaction changed between the Viejo period (AD 700-1200) and Medio period (AD 1200-1450) in northwest Chihuahua, Mexico. Non-locally procured or created artifacts, features, and iconographic elements are used as proxy evidence for past long-distance relationships. Data available in technical reports and other publications concerning these materials in Viejo period contexts and a sample of excavated Medio period sites are synthesized and presented. The data are used to create a geospatial dataset and distribution maps with quantities and contextual information for each of the nonlocal materials. I argue that interaction and social networks with long-distance neighbors were complex and widespread during both the Viejo and Medio periods. These intricate relationships morphed and altered in profound ways with the rise of the regional center Paquimé and the fluorescence of the Casas Grandes cultural tradition, but some of the fundamental relationships also remained the same. Keywords: Casas Grandes, Paquimé, Viejo period, interregional interaction, nonlocal objects ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks first goes to my wife, Brenna, for supporting me in every way imaginable through my academic endeavors. I also thank my chair, Dr. Michael Searcy for advising my research and education, supporting my ideas, and providing me with the resources and knowledge to become a better scholar and professional archaeologist. I thank Dr. John Clark and Dr. Zach Chase for their instructions and guidance in classes and as members of my committee. This thesis is better because of them. Dr. James Allison deserves thanks for teaching me most of what I know about field and lab methods, as well as many other instances of teaching. Dr. Marion Forest for helping me shape this thesis. I also greatly appreciate the scholars and archaeologists who published the reports on which this thesis focused. Their contributions are innumerable. Acknowledgment and much appreciation goes to Paul Minnis for sharing his and Michael Whalen’s informes with me, and to Ben Nelson, Chris Schwartz, Brooke Hundtoft, and all others associated with the Connections Project at Arizona State University for providing me with valuable compiled data from Paquimé that allowed me to put Casas Grandes interregional interaction in to context. Finally, I could not have achieved any of this without the support of my parents who instilled in me a determination to follow my dreams.

  • The Construction and Occupation of Unit 11 at Paquimé, Chihuahua
    THE CONSTRUCTION AND OCCUPATION OF UNIT 11 AT PAQUIMÉ, CHIHUAHUA DRAFT (February 5, 2009), comments welcomed! David A. Phillips, Jr. Maxwell Museum of Anthropology Department of Anthropology MSC01 1050, 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131 USA Elizabeth Arwen Bagwell Desert Archaeology, Inc. 509 South 48th Street, Suite 104 Tempe, Arizona 85281 USA Abstract Understanding Paquimé’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 frankly experimental and is offered in the hope that others will be able to improve on it (or else prove its lack of utility). Three decades ago, in the most influential report ever prepared on northwest Mexican prehistory, Charles Di Peso and his colleagues described Paquimé (Di Peso 1974; Di Peso et al. 1974; see also Contreras 1985). Since then, the site’s construction history has received little detailed attention. Instead, recent discussions have focused on dating the site as a whole (End Note) or on the presence or absence of a multistory “east wing” (Lekson 1999a:80; 1999b; Phillips and Bagwell 2001; Wilcox 1999). In recent years, the most detailed studies of Casas Grandes construction have come from other Casas Grandes sites (Bagwell 2004; Kelley et al.

  • Aztec Figurine Studies. in the Post-Classic
    Foreword: Aztec Figurine Studies Michael E. Smith Arizona State University Ceramic figurines are one of the mystery artifact categories of ancient Mesoamerica. Although figurines are abundant at archaeological sites from the Early Formative period through Early Colonial Spanish times, we know very little about them. How were figurines used? Who used them? What was their symbolic meaning? Did these human-like objects portray deities or people? Most scholars believe that ceramic figurines were used in some way in rites or ceremonies, but it has been difficult to find convincing evidence for their specific uses or meanings. The lack of knowledge about the use and significance of ceramic figurines is particularly striking for the Aztec culture of central Mexico. 1 Early Spanish chroniclers devoted literally thousands of pages to descriptions of Aztec religion, yet they rarely mentioned figurines. Ritual codices depict numerous gods, ceremonies, and mythological scenes, yet figurines are not included. Today we have a richly detailed understanding of many aspects of Aztec religion, but figurines play only a minor role in this body of knowledge. An important reason for the omission of figurines from the early colonial textual accounts is that these objects were almost certainly used primarily by women—in the home—for rites of curing, fertility, and divination (Cyphers Guillén 1993; Heyden 1996; Smith 2002), and the Spanish friars who wrote the major accounts of Aztec culture had little knowledge of Aztec women or domestic life (Burkhart 1997; Rodríguez-Shadow 1997). Ceramic figurines can provide crucial information on Aztec domestic ritual and life. They offer a window on these worlds that are very poorly described in written sources.

    1 UNIVERSIDAD VERACRUZANA INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIONES HISTORICO-SOCIALES INTRODUCCION A MESOMERICA Y NUEVOS DESCUBRIMIENTOS PROFR. DR. PEDRO JIMENEZ LARA I.I.H-S 1. Presentación. El presente curso pretende ofrecer una visión de los elementos y períodos culturales que identifican al México Antiguo. Las regiones son: oasisamérica, aridoamérica y mesoamérica Los horizontes que la componen son: arqueolítico, cenolítico inferior, cenolítico superior, protoneolítico, oasisamérica, aridoamérica, mesoamérica y los primeros contactos en el s. XVI: Planteamiento que se hace de esta manera para una mejor comprensión del curso y entender la evolución de los grupos asentados en territorio mexicano. 2.Fundamentación. Las área culturales del México Antiguo no solo se reduce a Mesoamérica como el período de máximo florecimiento que le antecedió a la conquista. En otros tiempos, antes de conocerse esta macroárea cultural, llegaron diversos grupos de cazadores-recolectores nómadas. El proceso evolutivo de estos grupos fue largo y lento, permitiendo avanzar e ir tocando diferentes niveles de desarrollo y los conocimientos necesarios para el cultivo y domesticación de las plantas como uno de los descubrimientos mas importantes durante esta fase que cambio el curso de la historia. Otra de las regiones es la llamada Oasisamérica localizada al sw de E.U. y norte de México, compuesta por grupos sedentarios agrícolas pero con una complejidad similar a la Mesoamericana. El área denominada mesoamérica, espacio donde interactuaron y se desarrollaron diversos grupos culturales, fue la “…sede de la mas alta civilización de la América precolombina. (Niederbeger, 11, 1996), se desarrollo en la mayor parte del territorio mexicano. Mesoamérica, definida así por Kirchhoff en 1943, es punto de referencia no solo para estudiosos del período prehispánico, en el convergen diversos especialistas amparados en diferentes corrientes ideológicas y enfoques: antropólogos, geógrafos prehistoriadores, historiadores, sociólogos, arquitectos, biólogos, sociólogos, por mencionar a algunos.

Hasta 1848, el norte de México iba mucho más allá del sur de los actuales de 2006 en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. Estados Unidos. Hay en esas partes de los dos países una realidad geográfica y climática compartida, claramente expresada en el término contemporáneo de Aridoamérica, acuñado como contraste con el de Mesoamérica, una espe- cie de contrapartida meridional. En efecto, aquel concepto alude a una característica común de aridez y conlleva un esquema de biodiversidad similar en toda la región. Se trata de zo- nas desérticas y semidesérticas con flora y fauna muy parecidas. Recordemos de paso que 31% de nuestro territorio nacional es árido y 36% es semiárido, en tanto que sólo 33% es húmedo o subhúmedo. Aquellas especies vegetales y animales que allá existen constituyen los alimentos prístinos de los habitantes de Aridoamérica, por cierto más nume- rosos de lo que podría suponerse pues tratándose de un desierto se presta a equivocación. El desierto que abarca el noroeste de México y el suroeste de Estados Unidos es particularmente rico en biodiversidad e incluso en especies endé- micas, esto es que sólo se reproducen y viven en esa región del planeta y en ninguna otra más.

  • Open to Visitors for Some Time, and Thus Lintel Window Mud Afforded Modest Protection, the Site Remained Vulnerable to Uncon- Wall T-Shaped Trolled Tourism
    estled in the canyons and foothills of the Western Sierra Madre lies a suite of caves that harbor some of the richest architectural treasures of the Mesoamerican world. Etched into the landscape by falling rain more than a million years ago, the caves provided refuge for peoples who settled in the region over the millennia, each of whom left an indelible imprint in their deep recesses. The most recent occupants—known to archaeologists as the Paquimé, or “Casas Grandes” people, after a majestic site 120 kilometers to the north where their culture was first identified—began building elaborate earthen dwellings within the ancient grottos nearly 1,000 years ago. Culturally and stylistically linked to the dwellings of the Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest, those of the Paquimé are multistoried adobe structures with stone foundations, wooden support beams, and t-shaped doorways. Many of the structures are composed of a series of small rooms built one atop the other, their exteriors finished in burnished adobe. Pine ladders provided access to upper floors. Some of the rooms were decorated with renderings of animals and anthro- pomorphic figures. NAlthough the structures were erected at some 150 known sites throughout northwestern Mexico, two of the greatest concentrations—Las Cuarenta Casas (40 Houses) and Conjunto by AngelA M.H. ScHuSter Huapoca (Huapoca Complex)—have been found in a series of canyons on the outskirts of Madera in the state of Chihuahua. Over the past decade, both areas have been the focus of a major archae- orMA Arbacci and n B ological campaign aimed at recording what cultural material has survived and elucidating the relation- ship between the people of Paquimé and other cultures of the Mesoamerican world—namely those of Jalisco, Colima, and Nayarit—and the American Southwest.

  • The End of Casas Grandes
    THE END OF CASAS GRANDES Paper presented to the symposium titled The Legacy of Charles C. Di Peso: Fifty Years after the Joint Casas Grandes Project at the 73rd annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology Vancouver, Canada March 27, 2008 Abstract. Charles Di Peso believed that Paquimé, the primary center of the Casas Grandes culture, succumbed to an attack in A.D. 1340. He further argued that the culture survived in the Sierra Madre, where it was encountered by early Spanish military adventurers. Other reviews of the data have come to different conclusions. In this essay I examine and discuss the available chronometric data. This is a revised draft (July 8, 2009). Please check with the author before citing. Corrections and other suggestions for improvement are welcome. David A. Phillips, Jr. Maxwell Museum of Anthropology MSC01 1050, University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131-0001 USA [email protected] In 1663 the Spanish founded a settlement and mission near Casas Grandes (Di Peso 1974:3:865, 998). As of that year, beyond question, the Casas Grandes culture no longer existed. Based on tree-ring evidence, in 1338 the culture was thriving. Whatever happened to the culture, it must have happened during the intervening 325 years. The purpose of this essay is to once again guess when the Casas Grandes culture came to and end. Whether we utilize history or archaeology, our starting point for any examination of the problem is the enduring scholarship of Charles Di Peso. Historical Evidence The new colony at Casas Grandes was not an isolated incident.
