GOYAS MEJIA, Ramón. Missing settlements and indigenous villages in Los Altos de Jalisco during the viceroyalty. Sig. his [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.30, pp.32-63. ISSN 1665-4420.

This paper deals with the disappearance of indigenous villages during the colonial period in the region of Los Altos de Jalisco. Several authors have analyzed the catastrophic decline of this population following the arrival of the Europeans to the Americas; however, at least for western Mexico there are no detailed studies that address the redistribution of space after the loss of population. Such a situation is even more obvious in the case of Los Altos de Jalisco, where, although there have been many studies aiming to understand the ranch property as a typical local settlement, the ancient indigenous villages in the area have been almost unnoticed, hence the relevance of this analysis.
