Scaling relations for settled area versus population in the BOM.

Estimated pre-factors and exponents for four Pre-Hispanic periods. Parameter estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CI) obtained via maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and ordinary least squares minimization (OLS). Magnitude is the estimated population size of the largest settlement, Centrality its fraction of the total population, and Productivity the yield (kg maize/ha) of the most productive agricultural strategy [53].
