Abstract

Howell and Kintigh (1996) argue for ascribed leadership at Hawikku based on biological kinship within cemetery areas and nonrandom distribution of higher-diversity burials. Their statistical evidence could be questioned based on principles of two-tailed null hypotheses, the Bonferroni principle, and other aspects. Especially when taking the bioanthropological literature more adequately into account, alternate conclusions somewhat at variance with Howell and Kintigh's concerning biological and social patterning according to gender could be envisioned.

Résumé

Résumé

Howell y Kintigh (1996) arguyen la ascripción del liderato en Hawikku, basados en el parentesco biológico dentro de las áreas del cementerio y la distribución de una más alta diversidad de entierros no hechos al azar. Su evidencia estadística podría ser cuestionada basada en los principios de las dos hipótesis nulas de limitación, el principio Bonferroni, y otros aspectos. Especialmente cuando se toma en cuenta más adecuadamente la literatura bioantropológica, conclusiones alternas que de alguna manera están en desacuerdo con los patrones biológico y social asociados con el género, que Howell y Kintigh proponen, podrian visualizarse.
