How might archaeologists use the traces left by a former society to discover how that society was ordered - whether a people lived under a hierarchy of different statuses or under a more egalitarian regime? What is ranking and how do different kinds of ranking affect the quality of life? These are the questions addressed by Paul Wason in The Archaeology of Rank.
