Archaeological Zone of Paquimé, Casas Grandes (UNESCO/NHK)
Paquimé, Casas Grandes, which reached its apogee in the 14th and 15th centuries, played a key role in trade and cultural contacts between the Pueblo culture of the south-western United States and northern Mexico and the more advanced civilizations of Mesoamerica. The extensive remains, only part of which have been excavated, are clear evidence of the vitality of a culture which was perfectly adapted to its physical and economic ...

Casas Grandes / Paquime Excavations (1958-1961)
One of the Amerind's signature projects was the excavation at Casas Grandes, also known as Paquimé. The archaeological site of is located in northwest
Chihuahua, Mexico.In 1958 the Amerind Foundation and Instituto Nacional
de Antroplogía e Historia (INAH) initiated the Joint Casas Grandes Project (1958 - 1961).
Paquimé was the center of trade for a large area during its height. It may have been a link of sorts between the cultures of Mesoamerica and the Pueblo cultures of the
American Southwest.
It is estimated to contain the remains of some 2,000 rooms in clusters of residential rooms, workshops, and stores. At its peak in the 14th century, Paquimé may have
supported a population of up to several thousand. Casas Grandes possessed an elaborate water system. It was comprised of reservoirs connected by channels that
distribute water to the various room blocks of the complex.
Some canals were also designed to remove waste from the residential areas of the complex. Water was also collected from a large cistern
located in the aptly named House of the Wells.
Macaws and turkeys were kept in pens in several locations throughout Casas Grandes.
Macaws were acquired in trade from Mesoamerican peoples further to the south. They were likely used primarily for their colorful feathers.
In 1998 Casas Grandes was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

SAA's Archiving the Archaeologists: Paul Minnis
Paul Minnis is Professor Emeritus at the University of Oklahoma, specializing in paleoethnobotany and the archaeology of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1981. Paul has co-directed research projects in the Casas Grandes region in northern Chihuahua beginning in 1989. He is the author or editor of twelve books and numerous articles. Paul is a past president of the Society of Ethnobiology, past treasurer and press editor for the Society for American Archaeology, and co-founder of the Southwest Symposium.
SAA's Archiving the Archaeologists series is an oral history project designed to capture personal insights and recollections of archaeologists near retirement or already retired. Archaeologists interviewed in the series reflect on their careers, how and why they became archaeologists, and their contributions to the discipline. This series not only archives the words and images of senior archaeologists, but it also provides other archaeologists, avocationalists, students, and the public insight into what it is like to be an archaeologist in a particular time and place. The series Archiving the Archaeologists is funded by the Society for American Archaeology and is a project of the History of Archaeology Interest Group.

Kernave Archaeological Site - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Kernave Archaeological Site is quite an interesting UNESCO World Heritage Site in central Lithuania. Although there's not much to physically see above ground here, it's the site of the first capital of Lithuania, dating back to the Middle Ages. And as proud Lithuanians have been excavating their past, they've discovered that the site has been occupied for over 10,000 years! Let's check it out.

Gila Cliff Dwellings • Mogollon Culture • New Mexico
Mogollon Culture At The Gila Cliff Dwellings
Near Silver City New Mexico
For thousands of years, groups of nomadic people used the caves of the Gila River as temporary shelter. In the late 1200's, people of the Mogollon Culture decided it would be a good place to call home. They built rooms, crafted pottery and raised children in the cliff dwellings for about twenty years. Then the Mogollon moved on, leaving the walls for us as a glimpse into the past.
Nobody knows where they came from and no one knows where they went.
Discovered by the white man in the 1800's.
Tomb Raiders/Thieves stole all the artifacts before the archeologists could do their work.
Its a long trek, 40 miles up a ridiculous dangerous winding road, 2 hour travel time more impressive than the Grand Canyon - well more personal anyway.
