520 _aThis catalog explores the acclaimed ceramic traditions of the largest pre-Columbian civilization in northern Mexico. Casas Grandes, located in present-day Chihuahua, was a major regional center during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries that blended elements of the Pueblo culture to the north and Mesoamerican civilizations to the south. Leading archaeologists discuss the geometric polychrome vessels, representational pots, and effigy pots that display a spectacular ceramic artistry and give rare insight into an ancient culture just beginning to receive its archaeological due.
