Research Abstract |
This research project compared the developmental process of social complexity and hierarchy between the Japanese Archipelago and the British Isles by examining 1) the transformation of settlement patterns, 2) the transformation of burial systems and mortuary practices, and 3) the transformation of kin-relations/orgnisation. The outcomes were compared with that of the application of some social network analysis methods, and it was concluded that different network (topological) characteristics, resulting in the generation of different degrees of centralization between the Japaense Archipelago and the British Isles, led to the different trajectories of social development between those regions on the periphery of the Eurasian continent.
