Rail Over the Border

Here's a southbound train crossing over the border in Nogales, Arizona into Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. A Border Patrol Agent told me this happens six to eight times a day.

The train rolled up slowly to the gate, which is right in the center of town, it stopped for a few minutes (presumably to change crews, as I had seen vans with drivers waiting), and then continued south at a slow rate. After the last car rolled through, the gate was closed.

The line south out of Tucson is now of the Union Pacific; the line on the other side of the border is Ferromex (which is short for Ferrocarril Mexicano—while that sounds like a national line, it is now a private consortium).

Going back in time, the route here on the US side was originally that of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe (operating under the name of the New Mexico and Arizona Railroad) while the rail line on the Mexican side was originally the Sonora Railway (funded by the ATSF so that they would have access to the port of Guaymas on the Pacific.

Round 1, Match 2: Southern Polychromes

Polychrome pottery types of Mexico.

Ramos Polychrome

vs.

Trincheras Polychromes

Nogales Polychrome, the most well-described Trincheras polychrome type. From the very southern tip of Arizona, AD 800-1050.

Ramos Polychrome

Ramos Polychrome with raised snake motif. Casas Grandes region, Chihuahua, Mexico, 1200-1400.

This right there is possibly one of my favorite archaeological pots of all time. I saw it when I was visiting the Arizona State Museum over spring break for dissertation research reasons and I was enraptured. (I photographed a bunch of pots from the collections for my dissertation that I'm not allowed to post publicly, but this one was on display.)

Ramos Polychrome is the pottery type associated with Casas Grandes, also called Paquimé. A huge, complex, sort-of-Mogollon-ish-but-also-its-own-thing site in northern Chichuahua, Casas Grandes was the center of a vibrant community that mixed Mesoamerican and Mogollon cultural traits. Elaborate multi-story adobe buildings, large agave roasting pits, and robust economy as a probable trade broker between the rest of the Southwest and Mexico. It was settled in the 1100s and occupied until 1450.

Ramos polychrome is red and black on a cream-colored slipped base. Figure depictions of snakes and macaws are extremely common. Effigies of other animals, like dogs and fish, are also extant. Figures and designs tend to be outlined in thin, neat black lines. Ramos polychromes are overwhelmingly jars, rarely bowls.

Trincheras Polychromes

Sherds of Nogales Polychrome (cream-colored background) and Altar Polychrome (darker, reddish background). AD 800-1050, northern Sonora, Mexico.

There are a few, not-well-described Trincheras polychrome types: Nogales Polychrome, Altar Polychrome, Santa Cruz Polychrome. Of those, Nogales Polychrome is the best defined.

"Trincheras" is the name given to the cultural tradition of northern Sonora in the AD 400s-1300s, which, due to it crosscutting the Mexico-US border, has been as yet not deeply studied because international politics and collaboration are hard and also there's been a general lack of interest in the Hohokam in the last 20 years or so for some reason. The people of the Trincheras were probably related to, and interacted with, Hohokam people. Their farming and architectural techniques were similar.

Trincheras polychromes are defined by their purple paint. Instead of black, their hematite-based pigments turned reddish-black on firing, giving them a glittering, purple appearance. These were probably the earliest polychrome pottery created in the Greater Southwest!
