Added the Queretaro bald cypress as a third central-Mexico record
The Queretaro record shows 1514 to 1539 as the driest stretch in 600 years and 1540 to 1580 as the wettest, agreeing with the drought atlas over the Puebla maize record for the 1540s. It shows no wet signal in individual epidemic years, so that result was downgraded.
How it connects
This step led us to
Queretaro bald cypress: the worst drought in 600 years ended in 1539; 1540 to 1580 was the wettest stretch
This step is about
What caused the cocoliztli epidemics that killed most of Mexico's people (1545, 1576 and later)?
This step and then
Tested the Maya city shutdowns against two drought records
This step came after
Tested the cocoliztli epidemics against the Mexican Drought Atlas
