dc.description	This book contends that despite traditional doubts, practical limitations, and contemporary critiques, a rigorous social archaeology is indeed possible. The early chapters outline what a productive social archaeology might look like, covering such issues as the possibility and prospect of cross-cultural social inference, the central importance of archaeological theory and of social models, the nature of inequality, and the extraordinary effects rules for arranging statuses have on the character of life. The following section of the book offers a systematic review and critique of cross-cultural correlates of inequality. For example, the ways in which residential buildings can vary are summarized and examined for how they might yield insight into a former status system. In the final chapter these correlates are used to help answer the question, "Was £atal Hiiyiik a ranked Neolithic town in Anatolia?"	-
