Mesoamericanists, historical archaeologists, and researchers concerned with craft specialization, rural-urban settlement pattern analysis, and the rise and fall of city states have recently and unexpectedly lost a dedicated colleague, enthusiastic fieldworker, and friend. Mexican archaeology has especially been deprived of one of its stellar fieldworkers, distinguished researchers, and mentor with the passing of Thomas H. Charlton, whom we all knew as Tom and never Thomas. Anthropologists and historians who focus on the Meseta Central and especially those concerned with the Late Postclassic and Colonial era during the past four and a half decades recognize the significant contributions he made to our understanding of Aztec prehistory, the Conquest, and the transition to the Colonial and Republican periods
