Synchrony in the new world: An example of archaeoethnology

Article Abstract:

The cycles of synchronous growth and decline in cities in East Asia and in the Mediterranean is demonstrated and it is argued that synchrony is rooted in systems of economic and political independence. The presence of synchrony in the new world implies that macro regional processes, such as long distance trade had more impact on New World societies than is commonly thought.

Galton's problem as multiple network autocorrelation effects: cultural trait transmission and ecological constraint

Article Abstract:

A multiple network autocorrelation effects model is proposed along with the associated two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation procedures. It is shown that the network effects model offers an alternative interpretation of how cultural trait transmission processes operate than does the network autocorrelation disturbance model.
