Mark Cartwright's Sun Stone entry for the World History Encyclopedia is a general reference encyclopedia article, not a specialist scholarly study. Its strength is that World History Encyclopedia entries are written and reviewed by named contributors rather than left fully anonymous, giving a reasonably reliable outline of the Aztec Sun Stone's discovery, iconography and dating. Its limit is the ordinary one for a general audience reference article: useful for the outline, not a substitute for the archaeological and epigraphic literature on the object.
