Title: The dynamics of wealth and poverty in the transegalitarian societies of Southeast Asia
Date: 2001
Source: Antiquity
Abstract: Understanding how differential wealth develops between households in villages is one key to understanding how socioeconomic inequalities develop
a key theoretical issue for archaeologists. An ethnoarchaeological perspective in Southeast Asia gains major insights into how socioeconomic inequalities emerged and were maintained, with numerous implications for other cereal and stock based prehistoric cultures, such as those of Neolithic Europe.
