66. For example, Tlaxcallan also possessed four different standards, reflecting its quadripartite division. The ruling town of Ocotelolco's standard was a quetzaltototl (resplendent quetzal) over a crag. Quiahuiztlan's standard was an arrangement of quetzal plumes compacted to form a crest or fan, called a quetzalpatzactli. Tepeticpac's standard was a fierce wolf on a rock with a bow and arrows held in his paw. And Tizatlan's standard was a white heron (Muñoz Camargo 1892:102, 1981:225v226r).

79. These estimates are based on Denevan's reconstruction of the population ratios of Sanders and Cook and Borah for this area (Denevan 1976a:8182).

83. There is a lack of consensus about the pre-Columbian population, but the "west" stable population model at Level 3 (Coale and Demeny 1966) is the likeliest approximation. This population model fits sixteenth-century Peru (N. D. Cook 1981), and since this was the closest cultural, genetic, and epidemiological fit with central Mexico, I am using it in my discussion, although the results should be taken advisedly.
