The emergence of social inequality among otherwise egalitarian groups may be the inevitable consequence of the lifting of social sanctions against resource accumulation and status competition. According to some, status competition and self-aggrandizing behavior are suppressed when attributes of the resource base, technology, and settlement strategy, mandate the need for generalized reciprocity and high interdependence between members of a community, or when competitive accumulation threatens the long-term productivity of the resource base. Changes in the subsistence economy, such as reduced residential mobility, increased dependence upon storable, high-yield resources, increased dependence on robust (not easily overexploited) resources, and the presence of an adequate storage technology may lead to the removal of sanctions against self-aggrandizing behavior.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The emergence of social inequality among otherwise egalitarian groups may be the inevitable consequence of the lifting of social sanctions against resource accumulation and status competition. According to some, status competition and self-aggrandizing behavior are suppressed when attributes of the resource base, technology, and settlement strategy, mandate the need for generalized reciprocity and high interdependence between members of a community, or when competitive accumulation threatens the long-term productivity of the resource base. Changes in the subsistence economy, such as reduced residential mobility, increased dependence upon storable, high-yield resources, increased dependence on robust (not easily overexploited) resources, and the presence of an adequate storage technology may lead to the removal of sanctions against self-aggrandizing behavior.
520 $a This research assesses the limits and utility of such models by studying diachronic changes in the attributes of the subsistence economy, technology, and distribution of wealth among prehistoric pithouse dwellers of the western Mogollon region of the North American Southwest (A.D. 200-1000).
520 $a Analyses show that the Early Pithouse Period (A.D. 200-550) may be characterized as having no observable variability in the interpersonal or interhousehold ownership of wealth. In marked contrast, the distributions of wealth are successively "less equal" in the San Francisco and Three Circle phases. Changes indicate that self-aggrandizing accumulative behavior had developed by the end of the Three Circle phase.
520 $a Analyses of grinding stone morphology indicate that changes in the expression of social differences may be a consequence of increases in the dependence on agriculture that begin around approximately A.D. 700. Changes in the distribution of wealth may also be a consequence of increased residential stability, as indicated by architectural evidence, that occurred during the Three Circle phase. Changes in the distribution of wealth are not attributable to the introduction of a storable resource. Maize and other storable resources, and an adequate storage technology were present from the outset.
520 $a Reevaluation of the research models suggests that researchers may concentrate their efforts on parameters that relate to the generation of sufficiently large surpluses (in the test case, agricultural crops) to enable long-distance exchange and the import of nonlocal or "exotic" goods.
