Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2, matching this atlas's existing precedent for the same publisher (source 47217): a specialist Aztec-studies education site whose pages compile named historians' published findings (here Alfredo Lopez Austin and Cecilio Robelo) rather than original unreviewed commentary. NotesMexicolore's article on human sacrifice as debt-payment, uploaded 2024-03-31, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for the Nahuatl root ixtlahua, Alfonso de Molina's sixteenth-century dictionary translation as blood sacrifice, and Alfredo Lopez Austin's framing of nextlahualli as reciprocal exchange.
