History Problem
Introduce, analyze, and compare theories for the rise of state-level society (also called "civilizations"). How have the scholars approached this problem and what theoretical models have they used? What assumptions have they made, and how are their theoretical models a product of the intellectual environment in which they lived? How does the actual mechanism of societal evolution work in their models? How well do these models fit the evidence from archaeology and the history of early civilizations?

o Karl Wittfogel

o Roy Rappaport
