Social and economic organization
Duncan Project:a study of the occupation duration and settlement pattern of an early Mogollon pithouse village, By Kent G. Lightfoot • Tempe, Arizona • Published In 1984 • Pages: 83-111
By: Lightfoot, Kent G., Most, Rachel.
Abstract
In this chapter Lightfoot and Most look for evidence concerning demographic structure, subsistence production intensification, and social organization. They find there is no indication of marked population growth and there is no evidence that the people at Duncan village were storing surplus agricultural goods or converting surpluses into non-perishable trade goods. Nor is there evidence for rudimentary managerial hierarchy. Instead, households appear to have been autonomous units that were only slightly integrated into the village.
