This site is an excellent introductory resource for those interested in the archaeology of Northern Mexico as well as a resource for those interested in sharing their own work. This site also provides instructions for joining paquime-L, a list-serve “devoted to discussions of the archaeology of Chihuahua and Sonora.” |
