In this chapter, I will argue that the period known as the Copper Age saw the rise of
lineage societies, made possible and sustained through the cyclical involvement of different
communities in collective labor processes and other public events. Collective infrastructural
investments were non-agricultural facilities: enclosures, fortifi cations, and
monumental burials. Th ese kinship-based societies had limited technological development,
and groups were by no means economically “caged,” to use Mann’s terms (Mann
1986). Consequently, inclusive — and frequently ritualized — strategies would have been
more effi cient than coercion as means of legitimizing political authority in and between
aggregated corporate groups.
