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 ...

Pierre Repooc Productions - URL:
Paquime housed a pre Columbian civilization for about 800 years, which mysteriously disappeared, without explanation, just before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors.
It is situated in the State of Chihuahua in Mexico and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The settlement began about 700 AD and reached its zenith in 1350 AD. It was completely abandoned by the time of the Spanish conquest.
What happened to the peoples of Casas Grandes is unknown.

Nomads in the Tribal Zone: Conflict & Compromise in 18th Century New Mexico
Working in collaboration with the Rio Grande Gorge Project, Dr. Montgomery has documented nomadic material practices, particularly rock art, in northern New Mexico. Drawing on these materials, her research explores the social, political, and economic practices of Ute, Apache, and Comanche groups in the Taos region during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her talk focuses on the ways in which violence structured interactions between indigenous communities and between indigenous communities and Spanish settlers.

Mata Ortiz, Mexico: People, Places, Pottery
View photos by Jeffrey & Gloria , from their Februrary 2009 travels near the ancient ruins of Paquime, Casas Grandes and Mata Ortiz in northern Chihuahua, Mexico.
Our travel was during the time the USA had a travel advisory for this area. We did not encounter or see evidence of any problems. Everyone was friendly & helpful.
Mata Ortiz, is a mud brick small village, home to Juan Quezada, the self-taught originator of Mata Ortiz pottery, and scores of artist potters.
Discovered in 1976 by Spencer MacCallum, Juan Quezada and his extended family of brothers, sisters, their children and neighbors became the core of this now thriving pottery community. This beautiful and excitingly varied pottery is as thin as a cracker. We consider these pots to be the finest we've seen or collected.
All the pots are hand built without the use of a potters wheel. Shaping, polishing and painting the clay is entirely done by hand, often in primitive surroundings with brushes made from childrens' hair. All materials and every tool originated from supplies that were readily available locally, as exemplified by the preferred fuel of cow manure or split wood.
This video documents the extraordinary art of the Potters of Mata Ortiz and shows many examples of the many diverging forms of this contemporary art movement rooted in a thousand year tradition but at the same time free and spontaneous. It is the result of a blending of cultural expression, economic need and artistic desire. It should provide pleasure to all who share in experiencing it.

Ancient sweat lodge uncovered in Mexico City - Description from BBC
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, like and comment to our YouTube Channel
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND HISTORY
An ancient Native American sauna, dating back to the 14th Century, has been uncovered by archaeologists in Mexico City.
Central components of the sweat lodge where the tub or steam bath pool was located are still intact, according to Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History.
Known as temazcals, these structures were built by indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica, and used for medicinal purposes, spiritual rituals and for women to give birth.
The discovery in the historic La Merced neighbourhood helped experts to determine the exact location of Temazcaltitlán, one of the first areas of Tenochtitlán, the ancient metropolis that became modern-day Mexico City.
The excavations also uncovered the well-preserved remains of a house built after the Spanish conquest centuries later, its walls decorated with red motifs. It is thought to have been occupied by a noble indigenous family in the 16th Century.
The findings suggest that in the 16th Century this area was more populated than we initially thought, said Víctor Esperón Calleja, who led the excavation work.
The team also uncovered the remains of a tannery that was probably located there between 1720 and 1820. The site is located next to the Casa Talavera, a building of Baroque style that dates back to either the 16th or early 17th Century now used as a cultural centre.
There are an estimated 200,000 archaeological sites in Mexico - among them, the Mayan ruins and pyramids in the country's south, the Paquime mud-based constructions in the northern state of Chihuahua and the huge complex of Teotihuacan, north of Mexico City.

What Ifs: Santa Fe and Southwestern Archaeology
Steve Lekson, February 23, 2017, James A. Little Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico
For over a century, individuals and institutions of Santa Fe played decisive roles in the development of Southwestern archaeology – certainly for better but, in some ways, perhaps for worse. We trace the remarkable influences of Santa Fe’s archaeologists, museums, and world-views on the practice of Southwestern archaeology and on our perceptions of the ancient past. In this entertaining talk, archaeologist Stephen Lekson asks some “what ifs?” What if: Instead of Santa Fe, Southwestern archaeology centered in Tucson? Or developed out of Ciudad Chihuahua? Or if Southwestern archaeology identified as History, rather than as a laboratory of Anthropology?

Ruins Tzintzuntzan Lindsays Trip
I am a Rotary Club Ambassadorial Scholar in Guadalajara Mexico, this is a short clip of the ruins that I saw when I visited Tzintzuntzan in Michoacan. While in Michoacan I was in a small town called Patzcuaro which is about a 10 minute drive from here, in the town while browsing through a book store I picked up a book of country fables and old tales from the region, when i turned the book over I saw that it was published by the Rotary Club of Patzcuaro. The Rotary Club is involved all over the world and everywhere I turn I see their influence, Thank you to the Rotary Club of Patzcuaro and the Rotary Club of Sparks Nevada for giving me this opportunity. Perspective is everything.
