The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures

_“Drawing from the archaeological and biomolecular records, Makarewicz will first investigate how the spread of domesticated goats and sheep during the mid-seventh millennium into the rapidly changing built Neolithic environments of the Jordanian highlands sparked the emergence of a novel form of animal management central to pastoralism: seasonal transhumance.”_

Did you know that #Ancient #China had a peculiar agricultural structure?

Imagine a game of TicTacToe, in which each square represents fields.

Peasant farmers owned the outer 8 fields, while all 8 cultivating the middling #field as a tax to the lord who in turn gave to the #king.

This worked quite well until the power of lords superseded the royal court.

The different lords adopted different philosophies & the Confucian love for the 9-field system fell out of favour.

**Parallel scaling of elite wealth in ancient Roman and modern cities with implications for understanding urban inequality**

_"These patterns suggest the presence of an ancient, enduring mechanism underlying urban inequality. Supported by an agent-based network simulation and informed by the settlement scaling theory, we propose that the observed patterns arise from common preferential attachment in social networks—a simple, yet powerful, driver of unequal access to interaction potential."_
