In archaeology, the Saxe–Goldstein hypothesis
Development
[edit]The archaeologist Arthur Saxe, then a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Michigan, articulated the first version of the hypothesis in his 1970 doctoral dissertation.[1] In his thesis, Saxe proposed eight hypotheses concerning the relationship between mortuary practices and the social structure of the society that uses them. His eighth hypothesis, as summarised by Mike Parker Pearson, predicted that:
Formal disposal areas exclusively for the burial of the dead (i. e., a cemetery) are maintained by corporate groups legitimizing through descent from the ancestors their rights over crucial but restricted resources, and conversely.[2]
