Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to a culture and style that existed in the mainly mountainous areas of what is now southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, including the Mogollon Mountains, for which the culture is named. It probably developed from the earlier Cochise culture, and it flourished from around 200 BCE until around 1200. It was a hunting and gathering culture, with some cultivation of crops. It is particularly known for the first production of pottery in the Southwest, the technology for which may have been imported from Mexico. Pottery styles include several distinct phases, starting with a plain brown ware, a later polished red ware, then red-on-brown ware, red-on-white ware, and finally the famous black-on-white ware, which was probably inspired by the Ancestral Puebloan.
