Abstract
Archaeological cultures of the Malpai Borderlands study area are intermediate between the homelands of several better defined and relatively well-studied prehispanic manifestations. To the northwest, the Hohokam represent a persistent cultural expression throughout ceramic times. To the north and northeast, before A.D. 1200, the Mimbres culture created dominant ceramic styles. Thereafter, the Salado and Casas Grandes spheres to the north and south respectively represent archaeological cultures in a broadly Mogollon tradition.Parent Publication
