The Archaeology of Inequality

A lot of archaeological work focuses on the origins of social and economic inequality, which is deeply connected to the origins of state societies. This video explores some of the background of this kind of work, including kinds of inequality, kinds of wealth and their relationship to early currency, and the ways that land differences, redistribution, livestock raising, and warfare can contribute to increasing inequality. It also discusses the use of Lorenz Curves as a tool for measuring degree of inequality in cemeteries and among households.
