Household Archaeology on the Northwest Coast

Since the late 1970s, household archaeology has become a central methodology for archaeologists interested in the social, political and economic organisation of chiefdoms and states, and a key theoretical and methological framework for research on the development of permanent social inequality and complexity. This book has come out of more than a decade of research by the authors, who firmly believe that household archaeology is a very productive means of gaining an understanding of the evolution of social complexity, regardless of underlying economy.
