  Transverse momentum spectra for identified $\pi^0$'s in the range 1 GeV/c $<
p_T <$ 4 GeV/c have been measured by the PHENIX experiment in Au-Au collisions
at $\sqrt{s}=130$ GeV. The spectra from peripheral nuclear collisions are
consistent with the simple expectation of scaling the spectra from p+p
collisions by the average number of nucleon-nucleon binary collisions. The
spectra from central collisions and the ratio of central/peripheral spectra are
significantly suppressed when compared to point-like scaling.
