Little house in the jungle: The causes of variation in house size among modern Kekchi Maya

Growth of a Village: Using Fluoride Analysis and Artifact Frequencies to Examine Early Fort Ancient/Mississippian Household and Site Formation

“…The next phase of construction in the village was to establish houses roughly in each major household group in the village, which then grew laterally and then outward into a new ring in the village (Figure 5). As has been found elsewhere in relation to household cycles (e.g., Wilk 1983), these initial house sizes (founders/lineage heads) are larger than those subsequently built in a given household (Figure 3).…”

“…2017). But dwelling size can also be related to other factors, including the number of residents (Cook 1972:161; Hassan 1981:63–77) or the length of occupation (Kramer 1979; Wilk 1983) or both. Dwelling size alone is, therefore, an insufficient basis for distinguishing among the demographic and socioeconomic factors that may contribute to architectural variability.…”

“…The working group participating in the construction processes is a dynamic one and may range from a restricted number of individuals belonging to the extended household or close kin to a much larger group, or even a community-wide one. Its size and synthesis depends greatly on the task undertaken and the labour force that a dwelling group can mobilize thanks to its kinship relationships, reciprocal obligations and status (Wilk 1983, 105). It is not uncommon for the time-consuming, labour-intensive process of constructing a house to involve collective work by groups exceeding the size of the future resident unit.…”
