Households, informal networks, and local state organizations constitute the major forms of social organization in the Tunisian village of al-Qarya. Analysis of the networks reveals that close bilateral kinship (kindreds), geographic proximity, and patrilocal residence (not patrilineality) best explain the dynamics of intermediate-level social organization in this village. This leads the author to question the universal applicability of lineage theory to the Middle East and North Africa. [kinship, social organization, Middle East, North Africa, complex societies
