Cuarenta Casas: shelter architecture and Sierra Madre connections

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

INAH describes locally sourced earthen building, timber elements and storage within shelter contexts. The institutional register lists Cuarenta Casas separately from Paquimé and other Chihuahua sites; they are not one interchangeable locality.

Shelter architecture and regional heritage context Main architecture approximately thirteenth century CE and later precolonial contexts Earthen walls, timber elements, storage features and institutional heritage records Madera, Chihuahua, Mexico (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, farming, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Agua, hogares, paisajes conectados y evidencias

Conexiones de mesetas, fluviales, desérticas y fronterizas

Madera, Chihuahua, Mexico is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Household and storage buildings connect to wider Sierra Madre networks; similarities do not demonstrate universal Paquimé political control.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

Household and storage buildings connect to wider Sierra Madre networks; similarities do not demonstrate universal Paquimé political control. Cuarenta Casas is not a literal count of forty households, and Mexican cave names must not be confused with Ventana Cave in Arizona.

Transformación posterior, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Casas Grandes material classifications do not identify every ancient language or decide living communities' belonging. Later colonial, research and stewardship events are dated separately from the main archaeological context.

Earthen construction INAH describes locally sourced earthen building, timber elements and storage within shelter contexts.

Secuencia histórica

Una cronología breve y documentada

Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.

  1. Main architectural context

    INAH's approximate age places the principal built context in the later precolonial sequence; no exact ethnic foundation is inferred.

    [S1]

  2. Modern designation

    INAH records archaeological-zone designation, not the beginning of local knowledge.

    [S1]

  3. Institutional inventory

    The register distinguishes managed sites rather than defining ancient populations or giving this atlas access authority.

    [S2]

  4. Heritage interpretation

    A public event report concerns modern education and stewardship, not an ancient chronology or community endorsement.
