Abstract
ABSTRACTCasas Grandes, in northwestern Chihuahua, is usually interpreted as a center of interregional exchange. Consequently, we might expect evidence for economic specialization. The production of four goods—shell, macaws, turkeys, and agave—is discussed. The abundance and distribution of these items and characteristics of their production facilities are highlighted. There is clear variation in the scale of economic specialization at Casas Grandes. The production of goods intended for distribution within the Casas Grandes system seems to have been more centralized than the production of goods destined for interregional exchange.
