The Mogollon Culture was an ancient Native American culture that thrived in the southwestern United States, particularly in present-day New Mexico and Arizona, from around 200 to 1450 CE. They are known for their distinctive pottery, which often featured intricate designs, and their unique adobe dwellings built into cliffs and canyons. The Mogollon people primarily engaged in agriculture, cultivating crops like corn, beans, and squash. Mogollon society was organized into small, semi-sedentary communities that relied on both farming and hunting. They participated in trade with neighboring cultures, such as the Ancestral Puebloans and the Hohokam. The decline of the Mogollon Culture around the 15th century is believed to be linked to environmental changes and resource depletion.
