AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a historical study, spanning the period of the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries, dealing with the evolutionary development of the extended family household unit known as the ZADRUGA. The paper attempts to demonstrate that the combination of some basic principles of social organization (e.g., lineage organization, virifocality, patrilocality), used in conjunction with certain demographic rates and particular external constraints, will produce the complex household of the Balkans.
