Summary:The archaeological patterns know as Anasazi, Mogollon and Casas Grandes flourished in the Southwest region of the U.S. between A.D. 500 and 1500. Archaeological and iconographic researches conducted from 2010 to 2015 were able to demonstrate that these archaeological patterns shared a common “pictorial code”, broadly observed in their ceramic production found through a vast territory, covering a substantial time lapse. Considering that this “pictorial code” was present and verified through such extensive areas, its existence was also investigated in the material production of the surroundings areas of north and central Mesoamerica.
