Life Within: Local Indigenous Society in Mexico’s
Toluca Valley, 1650–1800, 6. Luis Reyes García
insists on a difference between tlaxilacalli and
calpolli in “El término calpulli en documentos
del siglo xvi,” in Luis Reyes García, Eustaquio
Celestino Solís, and Armando Valencia Ríos,
Documentos nahuas de la Ciudad de México del
siglo XVI, 21–68. In contrast, Lockhart, like Piz-
zigoni, sees the terms as relatively interchange-
able, preferring calpolli for its recognizability.

his Book of the Gods and Rites and the Ancient
Calendar that Tlillan was a place he knew
as a child growing up in Mexico City, where
he locates it as “contiguous [to the house] of
Acevedo at the intersection of [the house of ]
Don Luis de Castilla” (217); the volume’s editors,
Doris Heyden and Fernando Horcasitas,
pinpoint this in the modern city at the corner of
República de Brasil and Justo Sierra. - Carlos Javier González González, “La

- Lizardi Ramos, “El manantial y el

the aqueduct leading to the causeway. - The route of the aqueduct is established
in Durán, History, 369; Lizardi Ramos, “El
manantial y el acueducto de Acuecuexco,”
229, identifies Huitzilan as on the site of the

- Barnes uses the presence of the fan-and-
flap back hanging to argue that Ahuitzotl is
dressed for a celebration dedicated to Atlatonan,
a deity “closely related to Chalchiuhtlicue,”
Barnes, “Icons of Empire,” 312. - Barnes, “Icons of Empire,” 310.
- On Quetzalcoatl imagery of the sculpture,
see Emily Umberger, “Notions of Aztec History:
The Case of the Great Temple Dedication,”
96, and Emily Umberger, “Aztec Sculptures,
Hieroglyphs, and History,” 98–105, 127–132. - Its original site was discussed by Alcocer,
Apuntes sobre la antigua México-Tenochtitlan, and
more recently by Emily Umberger, “Monuments,
Omens, and Historical Thought: The Transition
from Ahuitzotl to Motecuhzoma II.” - There is little agreement about what kind
of building this would have been associated
with. Wicke, in “Escultura imperialista mexica,”
60, following Alcocer, Apuntes sobre la antigua
México-Tenochtitlan, 96, thinks it decorated
a temple devoted to Toci, an earth deity,
built along the causeway. Quinoñes Keber,
“Quetzalcóatl as Dynastic Patron,” argues that
the work was part of a Quetzalcoatl temple
complex that lay along the Ixtapalapa causeway
and that its imagery underscores the relationship
between Quetzalcoatl and Ahuitzotl. - Durán, History, 370.

Caso, El teocalli de la guerra sagrada. Caso does
not discuss placement at length; he writes
simply that it was discovered in 1926 “en los
cimientos del torreón sur del Palacio nacional”
(in the foundations of the southern tower of the
National Palace, p. 7). This location is confirmed
in the map published by Eduardo Matos
Moteuczoma, ed., Trabajos arqueologicos en el
centro de la Ciudad de México (Antología). - This was first identified as Moteuczoma’s
name glyph by Umberger, “Aztec Sculptures,
Hieroglyphs, and History,” 66–71. See also the
discussion in Umberger, “Montezuma’s Throne,”
22–27, as well as Patrick Hajovsky, “On the Lips
