Research Abstract |
It is recognized that fluid residential groupings had the function of ensuring sustainable blood kin relationships among settlement members. The resident members of the same household (family of orientation) spread out into various settlements primarily as a result of marriage. With each of their new families (family of procreation), they and/or their close kin then moved their home base to another settlement to reside with members of their family of orientation. It is estimated that settlements constructed mainly by close blood kin were able to continue to exist in hunter-gatherer societies without weakening the blood kin relationships among settlement members over time. It can therefore be postulated that sustainable blood kin relationships among settlement members occurred through fluid residential groupings.
