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 environment, but which suddenly vanished at the time of the
Spanish Conquest.
