This small city in northern Mexico (ca. 300-1150) was home to a dominant polity and trade network that linked the U.S. and Mexico. Houses, walls, and ritual edifices were built onto a mountainside, creating a dramatic setting for the hub of a regional capital. Roads facilitated communication and rituals between the center and 220 smaller settlements. After La Quemada was abandoned ca. 1000 it became a pilgrimage site for the commemoration of ancestral mortuary displays. Today the Wixáritari (Huichol) Indians conduct annual rituals at La Quemada, which they claim as their ancestral home.
