OBARA-SAEKI, Tadashi. Estudio crítico sobre el número de tributarios en Chiapas (1560-1817): Una propuesta metodológica para la historia de la población. LiminaR [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.2, pp.35-54. ISSN 2007-8900.

This article intends to offer, through the analysis of the history of the assessment of the tribute in Chiapas (15601817), a basic knowledge on the number of tributaries as a way to approach the evolution of the population. The article reveals the changing definition of the tributary, the way in which the tribute was assessed and the way in which tributaries were counted in order to make a methodological proposal on historical studies of the population.

Keywords : population history; tributary system; assessment of tribute; census.
