Household Archaeology on the Northwest Coast - Paperback

by Elizabeth A. Sobel (Editor), D. Ann Trieu Gahr (Editor), Kenneth A. Ames (Editor)

Since the late 1970s, household archaeology has become a key theoretical and methodological framework for research on the development of permanent social inequality and complexity, as well as for understanding the social, political and economic organization of chiefdoms and states. This volume is the cumulative result of more than a decade of research focusing on household archaeology as a means to gain understanding of the evolution of social complexity, regardless of underlying economy.
