“…Clay figurines and pottery designs at the Hohokam sites in southern Arizona testify to northern Mexican influences. 27 The people of the Mogollon culture not only traded pottery with the Anasazi, but the differences between the Pueblo languages of Keresan (spoken by the Pueblos that live along an east-west axis from Cochiti near Santa Fe to Acoma in western New Mexico) and Tanoan (discourse used by most eastern pueblos that run on a north-south axis along the Rio Grande from Taos in the north to Isleta south of Albuquerque) might have evolved from differences between Mogollon and Anasazi. 28 Another Mesoamerican influence was the relationship between the Mexican water god, Tlaloc, and the Pueblo katsinas.…”

Until recently, the academic discipline of the New Archaeology has largely thought of the people of the American Southwest in small‐scale, regional, ahistorical, and cross‐cultural terms.1 Changes in contemporary historiography, especially the rise of a new world or global history (and world‐system analyses), are now affecting archaeological (and anthropological) thinking, and the result is a historically‐oriented sociology and archaeology of the indigenous Southwest that views regional groups in continental, and even, hemispheric terms. Thus the impact of Mesoamerica in general, and western Mexico in particular, on the American Southwest is becoming a common topic of current archaeological studies. The concern of this essay will be first, to summarize briefly these historiographical trends, then argue generally for the Mesoamerican (and western Mexican) connection.

“…The linkage between quarry production (Ericson and Purdy, 1984) and regional exchange of lithic products (Earle and Ericson, 1977;Ericson and Earle, 1982;Scarre and Healy, 1993;Baugh and Ericson, 1993;Ericson and Baugh, 1994) requires accurate characterization of lithic artifacts. Lithic sources with multiple loci of raw material often present difficulty in determining these loci once the material has been transported to distant sites.…”

Six chemical subsource groups were identified in the analysis of 84 obsidian samples collected from subsource locations at Coso volcanic field, California. In prehistoric times, Coso provided obsidian for artifacts found from San Francisco Bay to San Diego to Death Valley to the eastern Mojave Desert. Subsource groups were defined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of 29 elements followed by cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and bivariate plotting. The new data are compared to previously published INAA and X-ray fluorescence data. Characterization of 55 obsidian artifacts from archaeological sites located approximately 100 miles from Coso suggests preferential usage of specific subsources as a function of the directionality of travel. The results are consistent with a bimodal (resident and itinerant) model of procurement. This research illustrates the importance of accurate sourcing of obsidian artifacts when attempting to define subsource usage.

“…tance and direction that goods were moved from production locations, the presence of centralized and symmetrical exchange, and the volume and type of goods involved-key dimensions in ancient exchange systems (Baugh and Ericson 1993;Plog 1977)-have not been identified for prehispanic Chalchihuites.…”

Instrumental neutron activation and petrographic analysis of 134 pottery and 26 clay samples from three Chalchihuites ceremonial centers identify pottery made from local clays and distinguish pottery found at each center that was not made from local clay deposits. Residents of Alta Vista, the region's main center, acquired an elaborate painted ware from a second center located 30 km away after A.D. 650. The ceramic compositional data provide a basis for understanding the distance and direction that pottery was exchanged in Chalchihuites as economic activities increased in the region.La ceratmica y las muestras de arcilla de la regiotn de Chalchihuites del noroeste de Zacatecas son analizadas para documentar la produccion e intercambio de ceramica entre los asentamientos fechados entre 400 y 900 d.C. El ana'lisis por activaciotn neutronica y anatlisis petrografico de 134 tiestos y 26 muestras de arcilla procedentes de tres centros ceremoniales de Chalchihuites indican una distincion entre las vajillas producidas en cada asentamiento y las vasijas adquiridas de otros lugares. Despue's de 650 d. C., los residentes de Alta Vista, el centro principal de la regiotn, fueron adquiriendo vasijas pintadas de manera complicada de un segundo centro ubicado a 30 km de distancia. Los datos de composicion de la ceratmica brindan una base pa ra comprender la distancia y el rumbo del in tercambio de la ceramica en Chalchihu ites, a medida que se incrementaban las actividades econotmicas de la region.
