ISBN: 9780804728553 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By studying chiefdoms--kin-based societies in which a person's place in a kinship system determines his or her social status and political position--this book addresses several fundamental questions concerning the nature of political power and the evolution of sociopolitical complexity.

A chiefdom is also a regional polity with institutional governance and some...

Organizing Bronze Age Societies
ISBN: 9780521748353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Chiefdoms: Power, Economy, and Ideology
ISBN: 9780521448963 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The study of chiefdoms has moved from a preoccupation with their formal characteristics to a concern with their dynamics as political institutions. The contributors are interested in how ruling elites retain power through control over production and exchange, and then legitimize that control through an elaborated ideology. The ten case studies look at particular chiefdoms, originating in specific historical conditions. Despite obvious differences between the chiefdoms, certain common underlying processes are revealed. The collection recognizes how complex and interdependent are the sources of...

What forms of specialization and exchange promote social stratification, political integration and institutional specialization? Can increases in specialization always be linked to improved subsistence strategies or are they more closely related to the efforts of political elites to strengthen coalitions and establish institutions of control? Are valuables as important as subsistence goods in the...
