Human Nature, 1999
The complexity of human societies of the past few thousand years rivals that of social insect societies. We hypothesize that two sets of social "instincts" underpin and constrain the evolution of complex societies. One set is ancient and shared with other social primate species, and one is derived and unique to our lineage.

Egypt: Origins Of Complex Societies
Annual Review of Anthropology, 1989When Pharaoh Pepy II died at c. 2230 BC, Egypt was nearing the end of what can be considered its first dynastic cycle. Pepy II's empire was in disarray; yet the people bearing his body to his tomb at Saqqara would have seen all around them pyramids, temples, towns, and other reflections of a great civilization then already many centuries old.

American Antiquity, 1963
AbstractSeveral currents of anthropological research specialization are historically important for the development of a modern approach to the study of ancient, complex societies. These currents are: (a) Taylor's conjunctive approach; (b) developmentalism; (c) settlement-pattern studies; (d) human ecology; and (e) urbanization studies.

Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, 1997
In complex societies individuals from distinct social, economic, gender, or age groups often consume different foods because of various economic, political, and ideological factors. The food system not only involves what is consumed but includes the labor and technology that goes into the production and preparation of food as well as how certain foods ...

Complexity Theory: Societies as Complex Systems
2018This chapter offers an alternative approach to systems drawing on complexity, emergence, and critical realism. It suggests that social-ecological systems are inherently dynamic, metabolic entities engaged in a continual exchange of matter and energy with their environments to forestall dissipation. The concepts of autopoiesis and dissipative structures

Human Biology in Ancient Complex Societies:
2017This introductory chapter examines previous archaeological thinking regarding the origins, scales, forms of evidence, and nature of social complexity in the human past. As a relative newcomer to this topical area, bioarchaeological approaches are shown to bring unique theoretical and empirical perspectives on these issues.
