Publisher Description

Inequalities take many forms, ranging from class distinctions to those based on gender or age. In this paper I examine some of the early steps in the development of social inequalities in the early settlement history (Late Neolithic through Early Chalcolithic) of the Fars region of southern Iran. I focus on contexts and mechanisms in and by which the social reproduction of egalitarian relations began to break down, paving the way for the emergence of inequalities. I draw on evidence of built space, pottery production, the ornamentation of bodies and sealing practices to consider the mutual constitution of subjects and material worlds as well as the Handlungsräume that allowed and constrained their actions. | Le ineguaglianze assumono forme differenti che vanno dalle distinzioni di classe a quelle basate su differenze di genere o età. In questo articolo verranno esaminati alcuni dei più antichi passi nello sviluppo delle ineguaglianze sociali nell’antica storia insediamentale (dal Tardo Neolitico al Calcolitico antico) della regione del Fars, nel sud dell’Iran. Lo studio si concentrerà sui contesti e i meccanismi attraverso i quali la riproduzione sociale di relazioni egalitarie cominciò a disgregarsi, aprendo la strada all’emergenza delle ineguaglianze. Verranno esaminate le evidenze degli spazi edificati, della produzione ceramica, dell’ornamentazione corporale e delle pratiche di sigillazione al fine di considerare la costituzione mutuale di soggetti e mondi materiali insieme alla Handlungsräume che permise e limitò le loro azioni.
