Year: 1978
Type: article
Abstract: This academic review critically and thoroughly examines Frederic Hicks's work on the calpixque in the kingdom of Nezahualcóyotl, with a focus on the Atenco region during the pre-Hispanic period. It highlights the social, administrative, and political roles of these officials, their relationship with both nobility and commoners, and the historical and documentary context underpinning the study. The analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the territorial and hierarchical organization of ancient Mexico, emphasizing the social complexity of the calpixque and their functions as intermediaries in the tribute and land management system
