Casas Grandes (also known as Paquimé), located in the modern-day state of Chihuahua, Mexico, was a major pre-Columbian archaeological site and trade center flourishing between approximately 1250 and 1450 CE. Attributed to the Mogollon culture with strong influences from Ancestral Puebloan peoples to the north, it served as a hub for commerce between Mesoamerican civilizations and the southwestern United States, facilitating the exchange of goods like turquoise, macaw feathers, copper bells, and pottery. The site's pottery tradition, often called Ramos Polychrome or Paquimé Polychrome, is renowned for its sophisticated craftsmanship, which some contemporaries considered superior to later regional wares. Bowls from this era were not only utilitarian but also ceremonial, often featuring symbolic motifs that reflected cultural, religious, or trade connections.
