A directora do MAEDS, Profª Doutora Joaquina Soares,
coordenará duas sessões sobre complexidade social no próximo congresso da
UISPP, que decorrerá em Burgos, de 1
a 7 de Setembro do corrente ano. Aqui fica informação
para o caso de decidir participar (poderá ainda inscrever-se e enviar resumo,

B27 -
Social complexity in a long term perspective
The purpose
of this session is to actualize the debate about social complexity mainly on
the field of prehistoric societies, as well as on a broad scope of the
pre-industrial social formations.
So the
ethnographic record can shed light on the archaeological domain. Case studies
and theoretical presentations are welcome to articulate regional processes of
political and economical transformations seen from the archaeological record to
more general trends of cultural change, with anthropological components. Researchers
from different continents would enrich the discussion with contributions from a
huge variety of socio-political contexts:
From the
origins of inequalities inside the Neolithic family nucleus, where the studies
of the gender labour division are still not entirely explored, to the
development of social stratification, which involved the rise of the state. Discourses
of power and its mechanisms of legitimation, like those displayed by the
European Late Bronze Age societies are central issues to be addressed in order
to explain social organization and the increase of social complexity. Another
important theme that could engage an interesting discussion would be the
revaluation of the Iberian Copper Age.
Finally,
this session is proposed to develop specific analyses about the role played by
local salt exploitation, textile work, metallurgy and long distant interactions
as key-factors of social complexity.
B28 -
Social complexity in the third millennium BC in Southern Portugal
The author
proposes a complex tribal organization model for communities that inherited
their social kinship structure from the megalithic societies, at the first half
of the III millennium BC, in Southern Portugal. This social and economical
model began to collapse in the second half of the same millennium, as a result
of the development of the arsenical copper metallurgy (copper-arsenic alloys)
and craft specialisation.
The control
of metallurgy made it possible for the elites to legitimate the accumulation of
the political power, and gave them a coercive capacity to impose an unequal and
very hierarchical social structure based on chiefdom.
This
theoretical construction has been tested in the analysis of the settlement
system at Triângulo da Luz (in the middle Guadiana valley), during the III
millennium BC. The stratified social organization seems to be preceded by the
chiefdom that raise in the second half of the III millennium BC and developed
in the Bronze Age.
By the end
of this period the chiefdom society reached it’s most complex structure. In
opposition with other authors, that defend the emergence of the state in the
III millennium BC with a centre based in the lower Guadalquivir region, this
paper proposes that the state took place in the South of the Iberian Peninsula
only at early Iron Age, in the context of the orientalising process.
