AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Kintigh wanted to know why the late prehistoric Cibola area saw rapid and widespread aggregation and why the aggregated sites have similar architecture. Kintigh describes the settlements and then looks at decision making within communities. He sees peer pressure or peer polity interaction for part of the reason for similar architecture at aggregated sites. Aggregated sites arose when people changed community level decision making from consensual to some form of hierarchical.
