Paquimé is an ancient regional trade and cultural center that flourished in the 14th-15th centuries at present-day Casas Grandes in the northern México state of Chihuahua, just south of the present-day US state of New Mexico. It had significant exchange with the Southwest's Pueblo peoples. Excavated Paquimé is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
