Playas Red Incised is found in the immediate vicinity of Paquimé, and along the Santa Maria valley to the southeast. These vessels, as well as the related Playas Red, are a later plainware advancement over the earlier corrugated wares which had their origins in the Mogollon territories. This type seems to be a precursor to Corralitos Polychrome, but the designs here are never interlocking.
