The Central Mexico Postclassic tradition extends from 1300 to 479 BP (AD 700 to 1521) in the central highlands of Mexico. Throughout the time period regional centers/states with monumental architecture formed and collapsed. Military expansion was encouraged by a religious ideology that linked human sacrifice with warfare. Multiple migrations created a society was ethnically and linguistically diverse. Society was stratified from noble to commoner to slave with some opportunities for advancement. The Late Postclassic had the highest population of any prehispanic period in Central Mexico requiring nearly all arable land to be in production.
