Mogollon (Mimbres)

200 – 1450
Native nationNorth America

Pithouse-then-pueblo farmers of the mountainous New Mexico–Arizona borderlands, whose Mimbres branch produced the most celebrated painted pottery of the ancient Southwest — black-on-white bowls alive with fish, rabbits, insects and masked figures, ritually 'killed' and laid over the dead.

The Classic Mimbres villages were abandoned around 1130–1150 as populations dispersed; later Mogollon merged into the regional Pueblo and Salado worlds and faded before contact.
