Aztec Archaeology and Ethnohistory (Cambridge World Archaeology) by Frances F. Berdan

This is a good overview of Aztec archaeology and history in textbook format. A little dry in places but overall a good review of what is known about the Aztecs through archaeology, written records from the 16th century, and ethnographic research.
