| Description: | This volume brings together a set of distinguished archaeologists and authors to present their thoughts on the rise and role of human inequality in past human societies. We have organized the volume to present these essays in a coherent and logical order. Our opening essay provides an overview of the topic and a brief look at the papers that follow. We emphasize the major themes that are the focus of the volume. Ken Ames provides an excellent introduction to the general subject of inequality in Chapter 2. Ken’s chapter is followed by an important consideration of the degrees and kinds of inequality by Dick Drennan, Christian Peterson, and Jake Fox. This chapter sets the tone for the volume, emphasizing the evidence for pathways to power, using examples from a variety of prehistoric contexts. Mark Aldenderfer in Chapter 4 examines the role of ritual and religion in creating and maintaining inequality, a reminder that there are many facets to this topic |
