Description: "The Casas Grandes World focuses on a remarkable prehistoric culture that extended through parts of present-day Chihuahua, Sonora, New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, centering on the large Mexican site of Casas Grandes. Using the seminal work of Charles Di Peso as a touchstone, and drawing on significant new archaeological work, this volume offers a re-evaluation of the extent, history, and meaning of the great site and its far-reaching connections.

It also considers influences on the Hohokam of Arizona and the peoples of west Mexico, positing the existence of a vast sphere of Casas Grandes cultural influence."--BOOK JACKET.
