Item description from seller

pp822-833, tables. Removed from AMERICAN ANTIQUITY, JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY FOR AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY, Volume 46, Number 4, October, 1981. VG. In report covers. May include a first or last copied page. Synopsis: "The authors examine the process of political development in relation to selected social and economic variables in the plateau region of the American Southwest. They argue that political development was closely associated with strategies of agricultural intensification, surplus production, changes in the organization and management of labor, and expanding regional exchange. They draw supporting data from several settlement systems and attempt to demostrate that both exotic and labor-intensive commodities were restricted to political and economic centers. They then examine the distribution of one category of these materials, ceramics through application of the `production step' measure. Their analysis suggests that access to highly decorated ceramic items was restricted to individuals residing at the largest centers. Traditional interpretations of the political organization of plateau region prehistoric groups stress their egalitarian qualities. The authors suggest that such interpretations be re-examined in the light of data and arguments presented here.".
