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.

    are mentioned in the coronation of Tizocic,
    in Durán, History, 297–298. Durán notes in
    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.

    identified a number of springs clustering at the
    northern edge of Los Reyes Quiáhuac, today
    part of Mexico City near Coyoacan.

51. Lizardi Ramos, “El manantial y el
    acueducto de Acuecuexco,” found some traces of
    the aqueduct leading to the causeway.


52. 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
    Hospital de Jesús.

63. 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.

65. 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.


66. 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.”


67. 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.

    de México: Historia de su arquitectura. See also
    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).


71. 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
    of Others: Fame and the Transformation of
    Moctezoma’s Image.”
