Ranked societies are characterized by disparities in personal
status that are often accompanied by the concentration of power and
authority in the hands of a few dominant individuals. They stand
between the sophistication of developed, states and the relative
simplicity of most hunter-gatherer groups and early
agriculturalists. In some places and times they represented
relatively brief phases of transition to more complex forms of
organization; in others they existed as stable forms of adaptation
for thousands of years. They are thus of great interest for
archaeologists seeking to understand the dynamics of cultural
evolution.
