Huh. So is this the same species of parrot they were breeding at Paquime near the US-Mexico border and at Chaco???

The site of Paquimé in Chihuahua, Mexico, was a vibrant multicultural centre during the 13th and 14th centuries AD.

Ancient DNA indicates the elites there consolidated power through close-relative mating and child sacrifice.

Adobe architecture from Paquimé 🇲🇽, the political and ritual centre of the pre-Columbian Mogollan culture during the 13th & 14th centuries AD. DNA analysis of a child burial suggests elites here practised close relative mating for ritual sacrifice.

Built in the thirteenth century A.D., Paquimé was the largest precolonial settlement in northwest Mexico. Scholars have suggested that migrants from Mesoamerica developed the city, but new DNA research suggests otherwise!

No las conocía, unas técnicas decorativas geométricas muy avanzadas. Tras leer sobre ellas, he descubierto las figuras de Paquimé (Casas Grandes) y son una delicia de ver también.

It's #InternationalChihuahuaAppreciationDay, but sadly none of the objects we care for feature this dog breed so please join us as we instead admire this beautiful jar from Paquimé in the state of Chihuahua. It's over 500 years old and the colours are so bright it looks like it was made yesterday.

ROH values of a child burial (Burial 23-8) at the pre-contact site of Paquimé, Mexico. ROH values indicate how closely related an individual's parents were. 23-8's high ROH values suggest their parents were more closely related than first cousins.

A copper turtle from the site of Paquimé, Mexico. It is a rattle that has a hollow interior, and its tail forms a loop, suggesting it was designed to be worn or hung as an ornament. Dated to 1200-1400 CE. #mexico #history #archeology

When southwestern archeolgists gather to discuss Paquimé, the more they try to unravel its mysteries, the less clear their findings become.

Since there is no evidence of the first settlers of Paquime, I took inspiration of the "Kachina" spirits, who are considered as the founders of Palatkwapi by the Hopis, to design the looks on this illustration.

A Large Casas Grandes Owl Vessel, Post Classic Period, ca. 1250 - 1450 CE

Casas Grandes (Spanish for Great Houses; also known as Paquimé) is a prehistoric archaeological site in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Construction of the site is attributed to the Mogollon culture. Casas Grandes has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the purview of INAH and a "Pueblo Mágico" since 2015. Casas Grandes is one of the largest and most complex Mogollon culture sites in the region. Settlement began after 1130 AD, and the larger buildings developed into multi-storied dwellings after 1350 AD. The community was abandoned approximately in 1450 AD. Casas Grandes is regarded as one of the most significant Mogollon archaeological zones in the northwestern Mexico region, linking it to other sites in Arizona and New Mexico in the United States, and demonstrating the extent of the Mogollon sphere of influence. Specialized craft activities included the production of copper bells and ornaments, extensive pottery, and beads from marine molluscs. These crafts were probably distributed by an extensive trading network. Casas Grandes pottery has a white or reddish surface, with ornamentation in blue, red, brown, or black. In the past it was sometimes considered to be of better manufacture than the contemporary pottery in the area.

i have never felt more kinship with an anonymous ancient historical figure than i do with “the only guy who was growing a weird and rare fruit in the pre columbian united states”
there is only a single example of a cultivated chile (Capsicum annuum) seed recovered from a precontact archaeological assemblage in the American Southwest/Mexican Northwest. Archaeologists Paul Minnis and Michael Whalen recently reported on this find from their excavations of a village (Site 315) near the major settlement of Paquimé (or Casas Grandes) in Chihuahua, Mexico. The seed was found in an undisturbed context under a room floor associated with a radiocarbon date range of A.D. 1160–1305 (cal. 2 sigma).
