The origin and early development of social stratification is
essentially an archaeological problem. The impressive advance of
archaeological research has revealed that, first and foremost, the
pre-eminence of stratified or class society in today's world is the
result of a long social struggle. This volume advances the
archaeological study of social organisation in Prehistory, and more
specifically the rise of social complexity in European Prehistory.
Within the wider context of world Prehistory, in the last 30 years
the subject of early social stratification and state formation has
been a key subject on interest in Iberian Prehistory. This book
illustrates the differing forms of resistances, the interplay
between change and continuity, the multiple paths to and from
social complexity, and the 'failures' of states to form in
Prehistory. It also engages with broader questions, such as: when
did social stratification appear in western European Prehistory?
What factors contributed to its emergence and consolidation? What
are the relationships between the notions of social complexity,
social inequality, social stratification and statehood? And what
are the archaeological indicators for the empirical analysis of
these issues? Focusing on Iberia, but with a permanent connection
to the wider geographical framework, this book presents, for the
first time, a chronologically comprehensive, up-to-date approach to
the issue of state formation in prehistoric Europe.
