title: Neolithic economic autonomy and social distance.
abstract: The following hypothesis was tested in the prehistoric Mogollon culture area of the American Southwest: increasing dependence on agriculture leads to increasing social distance between the minimal economic units needed to make agriculture a successful economic base. Both variables covaried positively. As dependence on agriculture increased, villages became more endogamous.
