Abstract
Between AD 1428 and 1521, the Aztec empire
conquered numerous polities in the Basin of
Mexico. At Xaltocan, an influential Otomi town,
historical and archaeological evidence provide
conflicting accounts of the demographic effects
of Aztec imperialism. While colonial documents
state that the Aztec conquest led to a replacement
of the Otomi population, archaeological finds
suggest a substantial degree of population and
cultural continuity.
