Land use practices have had important implications for structuring household inequalities and broader political systems in the past. Our contribution examines settlement patterns relation to structure, wealth, ecological productivity agricultural techniques. Combining pattern data with high–precision soils data, we examine extent which different trajectories of polity formation impact location land intermediate elites commoners.
