It not only theoretically explains the difference between natural settlement communities and organizational forms for the first time, but also demonstrates the importance of understanding this difference in practical research. Based on extensive archaeological data from China and focusing on the evolution of prehistoric settlements and changing social relations, the book completely breaks with the globally popular research mode which is based on the assumption that settlement archaeology has nothing to do with prehistoric social organization. In terms of research methods, the book also abandons the globally popular method of measuring the grade and importance of settlements according to their size and the value of the unearthed objects. Instead, it focuses on understanding settlements? attributes from the combined perspective of the group and individuals. On the one hand, the book proves that the clustering patterns in prehistoric settlement sites reflect the organizational forms of the time; on the other, it demonstrates that historical research focusing on the organizational forms of prehistoric societies is closer to the historical reality and of more scientific value. The intended readership includes graduates and researchers in the field of archaeology, or those who are interested in cultural relics and prehistoric settlements. 606 $aCultural heritage 606 $aArchaeology 606 $aHistory, Ancient 606 $aCultural Heritage$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000 606 $aArchaeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000 606 $aAncient History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/712000 615 0$aCultural heritage. 615 0$aArchaeology. 615 0$aHistory, Ancient. 615 14$aCultural Heritage. 615 24$aArchaeology. 615 24$aAncient History. 676 $a307.140951 700 $aPei$b Anping$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483652403321 996 $aA Study of Prehistoric Settlement Patterns in China$92851616 997 $aUNINA
