Describe three "technologies of social control" which were created in early cities to help in maintaining control over certain aspects of society. Wattenmaker (1998) and Wright (1998) explain some of the ways people and their labor were (or were not) organized by rulers in Mesopotamia. Köhler (2010) describe about some of the ways that early elites attempted to control aspects of Egyptian society, Bard (1992 and 2008) explained projects that signalled elite status and consolidated elite power. Shaw (2003) explained Mark Lehner's search for people who built pyramids. So, keeping all of these various approaches in mind, your assignment is to believe about power and control and organization. Reply the following questions: In readings you have been hearing about "rulers" and "elites" and how some people came to be "in control" of other people. What do these words actually mean? What real processes do they explain? Given what you have read and heard, what parts of people's lives do you believe were "controlled" by elites in early states? What parts of their lives were not? What is the proof for your arguments?
