Notes: The Arizona Archaeologist Number 14.  McAllister’s revised Master’s thesis, originally submitted in 1976.   “Four basic forms of social organization are recognizable in the continuum of increasing social complexity: bands, tribes, chiefdoms and states.”  (From Chapter 1)  (See also https://joethebookguy.com/shop/archaeology/profiles-in-cultural-evolution-papers-from-a-conference-in-honor-of-elman-r-service/ ).   McAllister’s thesis is that the chiefdom form of social organziation was as high as the Hohokam advanced.
