Notes:  This paper is a chapter in Alternative Leadership Strategies in the Prehispanic Southwest (Mills, University of Arizona Press, 2000).  I imagine the paper was probably initially presented as a topic at a Santa Fe Institute seminar.  Reciprocity = Fair.  Pre-money.  “However reciprocity achieved its centrality in human affairs, the key point is that these non-centric reciprocal exchanges of goods (as defined by Pryor 1977) play a critical role as a dominant exchange mechanism in small-scale societies both now and in prehistory.”  (Page 362)
