摘要: In the recent paper (Kradin 2006) I studied archaeological criteria of complex societies which Childe called ‘civilizations’. Murdock's database from his about cultural complexity (Murdock and Provost 1973) served there as investigation source. includes 186 societies, mainly, ethno-historical examples. But he could not take into account global diffusion technologies, institutions ideologies. Many simple were already acquainted with societies' achievements in periods pre-industrial world-system later colonial period. Peregrine's Atlas Cultural Evolution (Peregrine 2003) prehistoric examples local groups to pristine civilizations, early states (2,300,000– 500 BP). The results examining this show a more substantial correlation between indications than my study.
