2019-10-10 | Social Inequality, Marriage Habits, and Other Clues to Bronze Age Life Revealed in New Study

'If the same arrangement existed among these Bronze Age Europeans—a big if—it would push back the origin of this social disparity back in time by around 1,500 years. '

'Today, we carry our own conceptions of families, households, and what it means to be a low- or high-status individual, but who’s to say what these conceptions meant to Europeans living during the Bronze Age?'

'The study “advances our knowledge of how people lived together, and how biological and social relations correlate—or not,” she said. '

'The reason for this, according to the authors, has to do with a previously identified Bronze Age practice known as patrilocality, in which newlywed wives moved in with their husband’s family. '

'That social inequalities existed in Bronze Age Europe is well established, as evidenced by early palace-like structures and the elaborate burials of high-status individuals, which point to the presence of an elite warrior class. '
