Chiefdoms: Power, Economy, and Ideology - School of American Research Advanced Seminars
Timothy Earle
The study of chiefdoms has moved from a preoccupation with their formal characteristics to a concern with their dynamics as political institutions. The contributors present eleven case studies examining how ruling elites retain power through control over production and exchange, and then legitimize that control through an elaborate ideology.
