内容説明

Based on a study of more than 200 burials at the US site of La Ciudad (725 AD to 1100 AD), this is an exploration of the meaning of burials as statements on the nature of power relations and social structure. Focusing on the inequalities between the distribution of grave goods and other aspects of material culture, the author argues against trying to characterize Hohokam society, or perhaps any archaeological culture, in terms of set evolutionary stages or degrees of complexity. The book suggests a new way not only to understand burials, but also to get at interpretations of social structure in the archaeological record.
