SUMMARY:Culture Series: Paquimé and the Casas Grandes Culture
DESCRIPTION:Culture Series: Paquimé and the Casas Grandes Culture\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm\nJeff Romney\, the director of the El Paso Museum of Archaeology\, will discuss Paquimé as a ceremonial and trade center within the greater Casas Grandes region. The discussion will also include the cliff dwelling sites at Cuesta Blanca\, Cave Valley\, and Cuarenta Casas and the petroglyph sites at Anchondo\, Arroyo de los Monos\, and others. Admission is free. \nThe Casas Grandes Culture inhabited parts of Chihuahua\, Sonora\, and New Mexico between 700 AD – 1450 AD. During the Medio Period (1200 AD – 1450 AD)\, the Casas Grandes Culture reached the height of its prominence and influence in the region. It is during this period that Paquimé was built\, eventually becoming an important ceremonial and trade center. The largest cache of shells ever found in an archaeological context in North America was excavated at Paquimé. Exquisite ceramics\, beautiful works in stone\, copper bells\, turquoise\, and macaw remains were also found at the site. Paquimé was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. \nCulture Series: Paquimé and the Casas Grandes Culture\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm\nJeff Romney\, the director of the El Paso Museum of Archaeology\, will discuss Paquimé as a ceremonial and trade center within the greater Casas Grandes region.
