This work resulted from the World Archaeological Congress held in Southampton, 1986. The work is organized around five major headings - the development of complexity, modes of domination, domination and resistance, centre and periphery, and state and society. The main concern was with archaeological investigations and contributions to the areas of dominance and resistance. The Congress aimed to consider how to return attention to the more specific problems raised by the concept of complexity for studies of historical transformation and social reproduction, while evading some of the legacies of its ancestry within unilinear evolutionary theory. Topics are included on archaeology, anthropology, ethnohistory, social theory and historical sociological analysis which consider general questions of the relationship of dominance and resistance to complexity.
