"Paquime - Casas Grandes The Great Puebloan Abandonments and Migrations Paquime - or Casas Grandes - the great Puebloan c...ommunity of northwestern Chihuahua, ascended as a major regional presence in the 13th and 14h centuries, in the midst of a period marked by unpresented cultural splintering and dislocations in the surrounding areas. To the north and east of Paquime, the Mogollon Puebloan people walked away from ancestral homelands.... To the north and west, the Hohokam Puebloans mirrored the Mogollon displacement. Well to the north, the Anasazi puebloans followed suit. Paquime... coalesced around a Mogollon-like nucleus of people, capitalized upon Hohokam precedents for its early community architecture and water control, blossomed after an Anasazi infusion of immigrants, and answered to Mesoamerican calls for trade and cultural customs" - Desert USA
