An Introduction to Seshat: Global History Databank
This article introduces the Seshat: Global History Databank, its potential, and its methodology. Seshat is a databank containing vast amounts of quantitative data buttressed by qualitative nuance for a large sample of historical and archaeological polities. The sample is global in scope and covers the period from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Seshat allows scholars to capture dynamic processes and to test theories about t…
Urbanization, State Formation, and Cooperation: A Reappraisal
Since at least the Enlightenment, scholars have linked urbanization to state formation in the evolution of complex societies. We challenge this assertion, suggesting that the cooperative units that came together in the earliest cities were premised on limiting outside domination and thus usually acted to impede efforts to create more centralized structures of control. Although cities often became the capitals of states, state formation was quicke…
Eventful Archaeology: The Place of Space in Structural Transformation
Unexpected ruptures in material culture patterning present interpretive challenges for archaeological narratives of social change. The concept of the event, as proposed by William Sewell Jr., offers a robust theoretical vocabulary for understanding the sudden appearance of novel patterning. Sewell defines historical events as sequences of happenings or occurrences that transform social structures by creating durable ruptures between material reso…

Processual Archaeology and the Radical Critique [and Comments and Reply]
Staple Finance, Wealth Finance, and Storage in the Inka Political Economy [and Comments and Reply]
The development of the regionally integrated institutions of an expanding state society is predicated on the growth of systems of economic support. Both expansion of existing systems of finance and the development of alternative systems of revenue, such as tribute, administered exchange, and centralized taxation, may be of central importance to the state political economy. This paper examines the reorganization of the economic systems of the Inka…
Contexts for prehistoric exchange
Modelling Change in Prehistoric Subsistence Economies
Modeling change in prehistoric subsistence economies
Covers applications of marginal analysis, linear programming, decision theory, niche theory, and optimal diet models to various prehistoric situations.
The Social Anthropology of a Neolithic Cemetery in the Netherlands [and Comments and Reply]
For the elucidation of a specific prehistoric social structure, general evolutionary theory has been found inadequate, probably because of its conjectural nature regarding the past, with but few instances tested, and its being worded in social anthropological terms, which are quite different from directly observable archaeological categories. Regarding the latter aspect, it is unnecessary to argue that because of the identity of their subject, hu…
Exchange systems in prehistory
A Reappraisal of Redistribution: Complex Hawaiian Chiefdoms
Lurin Valley, Peru: Early Intermediate Period Settlement Development
The relationships between the social development in the upper Lurin valley and an expanding Early Intermediate period Lima state are examined. Internally, population growth and irrigation complexity progress together in the Lurin. Warfare, although not directly caused by population expansion, may function to regulate population. With irrigation and population expansion, a local social stratification originates but political control remains highly…
