10. T. Douglas Price & Gary M. Feinman (eds.) (1995) <i>Foundations of social inequality </i>. Fundamental issues in archaeology. New York, Plenum Press. Societies with different forms of social governance have demonstrated widespread social inequality. The work looks at the origins of social inequality from simple social groups, the fact that social inequality can be easily present even in small groups such as through age or gender, and how it can develop more rapidly as social systems expand and develop widespread social networks. Examples come from foraging groups to agriculturally-based societies from the Old and New Worlds.
