As promised, here is the long question that will appear on your final exam. I am posting it front and center on my website so that you dont stress about finding it! Plese remember that we are expecting an outstanding answer with detailed info since we are giving it to you ahead of time. The answer will be a couple of organized paragraphs.
Archaeologists love to classify societies into broad categories based on their level of social complexity. We have looked at many examples of chiefdoms and states in the Pacific Rim region; plese choose one example of a chiefdom and one example of a state and compare them in terms of their leadership, mechanisms for maintaining powe, and two other characteristics of your choice. We are looking for specifics in your examples!
Good luck, and happy studying! See you on December 20.
