Life in Neolithic Farming Communities: Social Organization, Identity, and Differentiation

by Ian Kuijt (Editor), Gary M. Feinman (Series Editor), T. Douglas Price (Series Editor)

Drawing on both the results of recent archaeological research and anthropological theory, leading experts synthesize current thinking on the nature of and variation within Neolithic social arrangements. The authors analyze archaeological data within a range of methodological and theoretical perspectives to reconstruct key aspects of ritual practices, labor organization, and collective social identity at the scale of the household, community, and region.
