  abstract: Casas Grandes, or Paquimé, in northwestern Mexico was of one of the few socially complex prehistoric civilizations in North America. Now, based on more than a decade of surveys, excavations, and field work, this text looks at Casas Grandes and its surrounding communities in The Neighbors of Casas Grandes. This volume provides a look into the culture of the Casas Grandes area, involving not just the research of the architecture and artifacts left behind but also the ecology of the area. The authors{u2019} research reveals the complex relationship Casas Grandes had with its neighbors, varying from very direct contact with some communities to more indirect links with others. Important internal influences on the area{u2019}s development come to light and population sizes throughout the period demonstrate the absorption of the surrounding populations into Casas Grandes as it reached the peak of its power in the region.
  table of contents: Investigating the Casas Grandes regional system -- Dating the medio period -- The architecture of the medio period -- Medio period ceramic evolution -- Medio period ceramic function -- Medio period lithics -- Farming, gathering, and hunting -- Exotic and ritual items -- The history and structure of the Casas Grandes polity.
