Heterarchy and the Analysis of Complex Societies
Abstract
Archeologists' dissatisfaction with Service's band‐tribe‐chiefdom‐state model of sociocultural complexity has resulted in the epistemological reexamination of hierarchy, the exploration of heterarchy, and the historical and contextual flux between them. This calculus of power relations within and between polities aids understanding of how power shifts occur and under what conditions various power distributions constitute stable and unstable configurations. Power relations, while predicated on systems of values, leave physical evidence when their importance is ranked and reranked by individuals, groups, and organizations as conditions change. The hierarchy‐heterarchy relation offers a new approach to the study of agency, conflict, and cooperation.

In the citing paper
“La mayoría de los modelos que pretenden explicar las formas de relación entre grupos humanos en la escala regional se sirve de teorías que se asientan en estructuras jerárquicas, asumiéndose que la jerarquía sería la única forma posible en la que pueden estar organizadas las estructuras sociales (Crumley 1995: 2).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
