商品簡介
Contributors who are themselves presumably archaeologists, or at least anthropologists of some sort, demonstrate how to employ complexity--the interactions, multiple scales, and multiple layers of meaning in society--as a topic of study in its own right. Among their topics are decentralized complexity and power structures, assessing complexity in the pre-Hispanic Andes, and complexity and socio-technical systems in Inner Asia. No index is provided.
