About This Item
Washington, D.C.: Society for American Archaeology Book. Very Good. Soft cover. pp64-86, illustrated. Removed from AMERICAN ANTIQUITY, JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY, Volume 47, Number 1, January, 1982. VG. In report covers. May include a first or last copied page. Synopsis: "This paper examines the development of social differentiation and simple decision-making organizations in the Mogollon region of the prehistoric American southwest. The authors suggest that intensifying managerial problems associated with the transition to sedentism may have selected for suprahousehold sociopolitical organizations. Based on cross-cultural data, a set of theoretical expectations concerning social differentiation and leadership development is formulated which focuses on regularities in the regional settlement pattern and intrasettlement distribution of architectural features and material goods. These expectations are then used to generate a set of propositions which are evaluated archaeologically using data from early pithouse villages. On the basis of a test of these propositions it appears that simple suprahousehold decision-making organizations were present in the American Southwest by A.D. 600. The implications of this interpretation for understanding subsequent developments in Southwestern prehistoric sociopolitical organization are then discussed.".
