Abstract
This study compares various archaeological sites to shed light on rural family structure, interpreting the evidence through the lenses of social reproduction, subsistence production, and self-identification. The archaeological data includes house size and shape, food processing areas, agricultural terracing, storage facilities, and public constructions. The author concludes that rural settlements were egalitarian, functioning as cooperative corporate units.
