The Medio period (A.D. 1200–1475) Casas Grandes culture was a distinct cultural and religious system in northwest Mexico, southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, and western Texas. The economic and political center of this Casas Grandes region was Paquimé (previously known as “Casas Grandes”). One of the most distinctive forms to come out of the Medio period Casas Grandes ceramic tradition were human effigy vessels. These vessels exhibit primary and secondary sexual traits, and the males and the females are seated in different postures. Info: 858-538-0935.
