Ancient Complex Societies examines the archaeological evidence for
the rise and functioning of politically and socially "complex"
cultures in antiquity. Particular focus is given to civilizations
exhibiting positions of leadership, social and administrative
hierarchies, emerging and already developed complex religious
systems, and economic differentiation. Case studies are drawn from
around the globe, including Asia, the Mediterranean region, and the
American continents. Using case studies from Africa, Polynesia, and
North America, discussion is dedicated to identifying what
"complex" means and when it should be applied to ancient systems.
Each chapter attempts to not only explore the sociopolitical and
economic elements of ancient civilizations, but to also present an
overview of what life was like for the later population within each
system, sometimes drilling down to individual people living their
daily lives. Throughout the chapters, the authors address problems
with the idea of complexity, the incomparability of cultures, and
the inconsistency of archaeological and historical evidence in
reconstructing ancient cultures.
