AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Saitta uses a Marxist theoretical approach to understand community dynamics by examining social differences and conflicts created by flows of surplus labor. Saitta outlines a Marxist theory of social life, the nature of communal class processes and struggles, and examines the Pettit site and Broken K Pueblo. Saitta uses the framework of Marxist theory as he examines architecture, settlement patterns, and where certain activities occurred at these sites to help reconstruct social life.
