By the middle 1100s the canyon was well populated as evidenced by the extensive pattern of small farming villages. By 1200, the population had aggregated into one community, the Victorio Site. But this time their allegiance was to not either of the old central places. The Victoro Site had become the southeastern most Tularosa Phase pueblo in a system that revolved around Zuni and extended well beyond the Arizona/NM border. To the south the old Mimbres world was reforming in an extensive system of adobe pueblos and was linking itself to the new central place of Casas Grandes in northern Mexico.
