Pełny tekst źródłaEl presente artículo trata acerca de las evidencias más tempranas de sociedades complejas en el África subsahariana procedentes de dos entidades arqueológicas ubicadas en Nigeria, en la parte occidental de este continente: la cultura Gajiganna, localizada en la cuenca del Chad, y la cultura Nok, del área central de este país. Los estudios realizados acerca de estas dos sociedades por parte del equipo dirigido por el autor durante los últimos años indican una transformación cultural significativa durante el primer milenio a.C. Este cambio se relaciona con aspectos sociales, económicos y tecnológicos particulares que se describen y discuten para cada uno de los casos mencionados. Se postula que ese proceso constituyó el núcleo de la complejidad social que desencadenó desarrollos posteriores hasta llegar a los grandes imperios del África Occidental que surgieron hacia fines del primer milenio d.C. y en adelante.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis doctoral thesis is a study of man’s experience and understanding of the skies from the last centuries of the Neolithic – in the middle of the third millennium B.C. – until the end of the Nordic Bronze Age in 500 B.C. This work is at the crossroads of archaeology, the history of science, astronomy and social anthropology and will be based on a number of material remains that are evidence of the varied conceptions man developed of the heavens in that period. Examination and evaluation of these remains are a means of assessing the depth of man’s knowledge of the sky and its phenomena and the degree to which this knowledge impacted the activities, thinking and iconography of the protohistoric societies that had not yet developed writing in the Chalcolithic, the Bronze Age and the Hallstatt period. The many documented interactions between European and Mediterranean societies will also be examined to determine any part Eastern influences may have played in framing an empirical approach to the sky in north-west Europe. It is hoped that, once this research is concluded, this more thorough documentation will help address the current information void on the beginnings of Western astronomy and, more broadly, our understanding of the societies of protohistoric Europe

Pełny tekst źródłaLa primera parte consiste en 5 capítulos, principalmente de contenido teórico. Esta parte trata la relación entre la teoría económica, la teoría de los sistemas complejos y la termodinámica. El Capítulo 1 presenta de forma breve la relación entre complejidad, energía y economía, que son tratadas con más detalle en el resto de la tesis. El Capítulo 2 presenta el análisis energético bajo el enfoque de las diferentes escuelas de pensamiento económico. Se da particular énfasis al retorno al interés clásico en la producció n, tal y como recientemente surge entre aquellos que se llaman "economistas ecológicos". De hecho, uno de los mayores avances de éstos ha sido la incorporación de aspectos de la termodinámica al análisis económico. En particular, se habla de la importancia de la Segunda Ley de la Termodinámica y de su resultado más importante, la irreversibilidad de los procesos, que pone de manifiesto la importancia de la Historia. El Capítulo 3 trata de forma breve los temas de complejidad y autoorganización. El Capítulo 4 usa los conceptos desarrollados en capítulos anteriores para caracterizar a los sitemas humanos (p.e. economías) como sistemas abiertos lejos del equilibrio (termodinámico). Se presentan, a su vez, sus principales características, entre las que destacan su carácter jerárquico y su funcionamiento a través de ciclos auto-catalíticos que unen los diferentes niveles del sistema. La evolución de los sistemas económicos es el tema del Capítulo 5, tanto desde una perspectiva económica tradicional como desde una evolutiva, en la que 'la historia cuenta'. La explicación se basa en el análisis termodinámico, en donde el énfasis está en la relación entre la disipación de energía y el desarrollo. La segunda parte de la tesis consiste en 4 artículos publicados en revistas internacionales (capítulos 6 a 9), y un artículo que será enviado próximamente a una revista y que será presentado en una conferencia internacional en el verano de 2005. El primero de los artículos (Capítulo 6) es todavía de tipo teórico, tratando el tema del empirismo en economía ecológica para analizar la evolución de las sociedades. El Segundo (Capítulo 7) presenta la primera aplicación que hice en 2001 de la metodología MSIASM, para analizar la evolución de la economía española en el tiempo, y ayuda al lector a familiarizarse con la metodología.
El tercer artículo (Capítulo 8) vuelve a ser de carácter teórico, pero representa un avance y desarrollo teórico, y ayuda a entender las potencialidades que presenta la metodología utilizada, por medio de la inclusión de conceptos como el 'efecto mosaico' o el 'análisis de ciclos impredicativos', que ayudan a desarrollar mejor la narrativas a usar cuando analizamos temas de sustentabilidad. El cuarto artículo (Capítulo 9) presenta otra aplicación de MSIASM. En este caso se trata de entender las posibilidades que ofrece la metodología para ayudar a explicar trayectorias pasadas de desarrollo, así como para elaborar escenarios futuros de desarrollo. El quinto artículo (Capítulo 10) es la última aplicación, hasta el momento, de la misma metodología. El artículo representa un análisis del desarrollo económico de un actor principal en la economía mundial en la actualidad, China, para ofrecer respuestas diferentes a las típicas preguntas sobre la relación entre desarrollo y disipación de energía.
The present dissertation deals with the issue of the importance of energy flows in driving the evolution of economies on time, from less to more organised structures. From less to more complex systems. Economic development is a process, not a final goal to be achieved by any society. It is related to the economic evolution of human systems as well as with their interaction with the environment. Therefore, a biophysical analysis is needed to fully understand the process. The Thesis comprises both a theoretical and an empirical part. The first one consists of Chapters 1 to 5, which are mainly of theoretical content. This is the part dealing with the relationship between economic theory, complex systems theory and thermodynamics. Chapter 1 briefly presents the relationships between complexity, energy, and economics that are developed with more detail throughout the Thesis. Chapter 2 presents energy analysis under the framework of the different schools of economic thought. Stress is given to the revival of the classical interest in production, as we can find among those who call themselves "ecological economists". In fact, one of their major advances of this school has been the incorporation of the insights of thermodynamics to economic analysis. They have mainly used the Second Law of thermodynamics and its major result, the irreversibility of processes, and therefo re the importance of History. Chapter 3 deals with the issue of complexity and self-organisation. Chapter 4 uses the concepts developed in previous chapters to characterise human systems (i.e. economies) as open complex systems far from (thermodynamic) equilibrium. Their major characteristics are presented, focusing on their hierarchical structure and their functioning via autocatalytic loops that link each level of the system. The evolution of economic systems is analysed in Chapter 5, both from a traditional economic perspective and from an evolutionary one, in which 'history counts'. The explanation is based on thermodynamic analysis, in the sense than the relation between energy dissipation and development is the focus. The second part consists of 4 published papers in international refereed journals (Chapters 6 to 9) and one paper to be submitted soon after it is presented at an international conference in July 2005 (Chapter 10). The first of the papers (Chapter 6) is still theoretical, dealing with the issue of empiricism in the field of ecological economics to analyse the evolution of societies. The second one (Chapter 7) presents the first application I made back in 2001 of the MSIASM methodology, to analyse the evolution of the Spanish economy over time, and helps the reader to be familiar with the methodology. The third paper (Chapter 8) represents a step forward in the theoretical development of the approach used, and helps in fully understanding the potentialities of such methodology, by introducing key concepts such as 'mosaic effect' or 'impredicative loop analysis', that help developing better narratives for using when analysing sustainability. The fourth paper (Chapter 9) presents another application of MSIASM, this time for understanding its possibilities to help explain past trajectories of development and to help elaborate scenarios of future development. The fifth paper (Chapter 10) is the last application of the methodology. The paper represents an analysis of the economic development of a major actor nowadays, China, by applying MSIASM to try to get different answers to the usual questions regarding the relationship between economic development and energy dissipation.

Pełny tekst źródłaBehovet av höga byggnader kommer att öka i framtiden och ny byggteknik kommer att uppfylla detta behov. Tyréns har utvecklat ett nytt konstruktionssystem som kallas Tube Mega Frame där de stora lasterna överförs till marken genom stora pelare i byggnadens omkrets. Det nya konceptet har fördelen att eliminera kärnan inuti byggnadens hjärta, men ger dessutom otaliga möjligheter och flexibilitet för en konstruktör. Avlägsnandet av den centrala kärnan, plus mångfalden av Tube Mega Frame, kan resultera i nya byggnadsformer i kombination med nya uppfinningar som Multi Lift ThyssenKrupphar utvecklat. Multi är ett nytt hissystem med möjlighet att röra sig i alla riktningar bortsett från vertikalt. I denna uppsats genomfördes forskning om möjliga kombinationer med TMF och Multi. Den formgivna byggnaden är bara ett av de många möjliga resultaten som blandningen av Multi och TMF kan ha. Byggnaden byggdes på ett sätt att TMF skulle vara det huvudsakliga struktursystemet, byggnaden skulle ha lutningar så att Multi skulle vara den enda lösning som är lämplig för konstruktionen och höjden skulle vara betydligt stor. Förstudien fokuserade på lutningen och dess särdrag. Lutningen spelar en viktig roll för hur de inre krafterna fördelas i en struktur. Under speciella förhållanden kan lutningen vara till och med fördelaktig, även om lutning kan resultera i axiella krafter på plattorna så att de horisontella elementen måste utformas noggrant, inte bara för böjning eller skjuvning. Nästa fas var att experimentera på olika enkla lutande bygg former och kombinationer av dem. Slutsatserna från dessa enkla byggnaderna bildade tanken på hur huvudbyggnaden skulle vara. Huvudbyggnaden modellerades med fyra olika strukturella system och deras underkategorier med totalt sju modeller. Hela sju system jämfördes i lastkombinationer med vind last, seismisk last, egenvikt, nyttig last och det globala beteendet studerades. Modellens jämförelse inkluderade maximala deformationer och vibrationer. På detta sätt upptäcktes de bästa strukturella systemen för den specifika byggformen och slutsatser om lutning i en struktur gjordes. De bästa strukturella systemen och mer tillförlitliga vad gäller resultat men också avseende enkel konstruktion valdes att utformas i ETABS. 50 m Bältessystemet, det yttre Bäcksystemet och Diagridsystemet konstruerades. Utformningen av byggnaderna utfördes med användning av den amerikanska normen ASCE / SEI 7–10. I designen användes två olika megapelare för att studera hur en solid eller ihålig tvärsektion kunde påverka det globala beteendet. Beroende på konstruktionssystemet kunde megapelaren ha en större eller mindre effekt på strukturens styvhet. Tvärsnittens konstruktion var uppdelad i många grupper eftersom komplexa geometrin har en inverkan på hur och där krafter uppstår i strukturen. Utvändiga stödsystem hade de bästa resultaten när det gäller mindre vikt och global styvhet, vilket viste att i lutande byggnader och pelare kunde den korrekta förstärkningen och trianguleringen av element skilja de negativa effekterna av lutning och till och med fungera bättre jämfört med konventionella byggnader. 50-bältesystemet studerades vidare förknäckning, eftersom det var ett av de bästa konstruktionssystemen, men med minst fackverk, men också det minst komplexa med avseende på konstruktionsmetod. Den automatiska knäckning analysgenom ETABS genomfördes och ett mer konservativt tillvägagångssätt där användaren definierar knäcklängden och stödfaktorerna. Dessutom genomfördes en jämförelse mellan de användardefinierade faktorerna och global knäckning.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe ethnohistorical record of the Eurasian steppes points to the long-term predominance of extensive herding economies, associated with low population densities and high levels of geographic mobility. Consequently, investigations of early forms of complex socio-political organization in this region have thus far been primarily focused on Bronze Age (ca. 3500 - 1000 BC) funerary and ceremonial monuments, which presumably served as aggregation points for dispersed populations. When it comes to settlement pattern evidence, researchers claim that traditional models of regional-scale demographic organization, developed in the context of settled societies, cannot be applied to the early complex communities of the steppes. In order to learn more about
In order to learn more about the underlying social forces that were behind the independent emergence of larger more complex social formations in different world regions, this research focuses on the Sintashta (2050 - 1700 BC) development of southern Russia, which commanded particular attention of archaeologists due to the identification of more than twenty nucleated fortified settlements. Chiefly communities associated with these settlements have been considered odd in comparison to other early complex societies due to their small demographic size, lack of supra-local organization, a fairly short chronological span, and an apparent lack of local antecedents.
Regional-scale investigation of the demographic and spatial parameters of Bronze Age communities, conducted in the context of this dissertation, indicates that the fortified settlements were centers of larger districts and therefore represented regional organization that was typical of other chiefdoms. Moreover, supra-local settlement organization and demographic centralization prevailed in the study area for another 300 years after the presumed Sintashta ‘collapse’. Such continuity in material correlates of social complexity took place in the context of substantial demographic growth. These results counter some of the previously held notions about the unusualness of the Sintashta trajectory. The novelty of this research stems from the employment of a survey methodology that relied on systematic sub-surface testing, which has never been utilized in the region before. Perhaps more interestingly, by reaffirming the unusually small demographic scale of Sintashta societies, the results of this dissertation support the notion that small scale societies are capable of complex socio-political organization.

Pełny tekst źródłaENGLISH ABSTRACT: This is an applied methodological thesis about the attitudes of residents towards a modern high rise public housing complex. A definition and analysis of the theme show that this housing type is characterised by a distinctive design and style known as modernist. Therefore, modern and postmodern theory is used to formulate a general existential hypothesis as to residents attitudes towards this housing type. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to research the thesis. Data was collected by means of questionnaires and analysed in the form of a perceived environmental quality index. It was found that residents show a negative overall attitude towards the housing complex. However, there are also some indications of positive attitudes towards the complex, and significant differences were found between the attitudes of particular groups. The thesis is concluded with the suggestion that this housing type can be regarded as an option for certain groups in the context of South Africa’s current housing situation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie is `n toegepaste metodologiese tesis oor inwoners se houdings teenoor `n moderne toringblok openbare behuisingskompleks. `n Definisie en analise van die tema wys dat hierdie behuisingstipe, deur `n uitstaande ontwerp en styl wat as modernisties bekend staan, gekenmerk word. Moderne en postmoderne teorie word gebruik om `n algemene eksistensiële hipotese betreffende inwoners se houdings teenoor dié behuisingstipe te formuleer. `n Kruis-seksionele opname navorsingsontwerp is gebruik om die tesis te ondersoek. Data is deur middel van vraelyste ingesamel en in die formaat van `n waargenome- omgewing- kwaliteitsindeks geanaliseer. Dit word bevind dat inwoners in geheel `n negatiewe houding teenoor die kompleks huldig. Tog is daar ook bewyse van positiewe houdings en beduidende verskille tussen die houdings van sekere groepe. Die tesis volstaan met die gevolgtrekking dat hierdie behuisingstipe oorweeg kan word vir sekere groepe in die konteks van die huidige Suid Afrikaanse behuisingsituasie.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation is an ethnographic account of a Calon Gypsy kinship network that spreads throughout the state of São Paulo, in Brazil. The aim of this work is to understand how these Calon live and create sociality out of a Brazilian world. A fundamental category differentiates Calon from gadje (non Gypsies): vergonha (shame) - a moral value that organizes ideas of purity and impurity, anchored in the female body. In order to make oneself Calon one must produce and show shame, in an ongoing process of differentiation from the gadje. The thesis explores native categories of travel, language, being active, being supported, as well as conceptualizations of time and space, that inform how Calon create sociality among us, the gadjes.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation analyzes the ceremonial sites associated with a Southern Jê occupation in the city of Pinhal da Serra, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The sites consist in earthworks which can be either isolated or surrounding mounds. A classification is proposed considering the architectonic variability of the sites, according to earthwork size, shape, and the presence or absence of mounds. Excavation data which reveal activities performed in such places are also taken into consideration. The most frequent site type consists in small earthworks surrounding mounds which contain cremated burials. They can be interpreted as cemeteries for groups that inhabited pithouse sites nearby. Large earthworks without mounds are interpreted as regional ceremonial centers where a larger population gathered. Sites with complex architecture - earthworks of different shapes combined and surrounding many mounds - exhibited evidences of more elaborate rites including funerary feasting. It is possible that they were places for the burial of individuals with higher status. The data from the mortuary sites are combined with those from the settlements, which also suggest a hierarchical pattern with dense sites (clusters of many pithouses) regularly spaced and surrounded by less dense sites. Finally, I consider continuities with the historical Kaingang chiefdoms, where the construction of burial mounds had been maintained as an important element of chiefly authority during the confrontation with the european colonizers.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis is the result of an ethnographic study, developed in conjunction with a group of local inhabitants from the neighbourhood of Lami, in Porto Alegre. Drawing from the local elders memories, the study represents the routines and the social interactions of such a group that leads to a unique urban experience in inhabiting a city. Lami is located in the most southerly district of the city, renown for its beautiful swimming beaches and amazing landscapes of natural beauty. It is an area free from the crowds which characterizes the more urban areas of the city. However, welcome as they are, it has been accommodating more and more inhabitants over the last few years. Its land have been sold and transformed into gated residential developments, which impact greatly on the landscape as well as the local social environment. This ‘progress’, that has brought the power distribution network, paved road infrastructure and the benefits of a public transportation system, unfortunately also promotes all the illogicalities of the modern world. The image of a rural neighborhood, a rural area perfect for fishing and tourism, conjoined with the city backdrop whose inhabitants, predominately look there for sustainable employment. Facing atemporal conflicts perceived as a “crisis point” by the local elders, there is an urgent need for these people to update their routine and rediscover their ties of sociability and solidarity which will anchor a “communal aesthetics” in the neighbourhood, providing such a distinctive environment within the city.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe coastal environment of French overseas territories is both affected by the hydroclimatic and natural seismic hazards, and local or global destabilizing anthropogenic actions. This PhD deals specifically with cases of Wallis and Futuna and Lifou (Loyalty Islands) in the South Pacific, and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. In a multidisciplinary approach, it gets onto the different facets of the adaptation potential of local societies when it comes to changes at sea level: occasional (associated with storm waves and tsunami) and global (with sea level rise related to global warming). The sea level rise, that seems inevitable in the medium term, hydro-climatic and seismic (tsunami) risks, means that local societies will probably adjust and organize their territories in a different way, especially coastal area (the most occupied space at the island scale). The different disciplinary approaches crossing can offer innovative tools and methods for optimizing the sea level rise adaptation strategies

Pełny tekst źródłaRecently, the Cais Mauá, ancient port in the city of Porto Alegre, had a revitalization project approved in the multiple administrative instances of the state bureaucracy and it is scheduled to be implemented in 2017. I intend to demonstrate in the course of this work that the idea of a "Reestablishment of a relation of the inhabitants of the city with the port", pointed out by the enterprise responsible for the revitalization, is not consensual. It brings together innumerable political contradictions that I sought to accompany ethnographically through consensual contact with urban activism collectives. Performing an anthropology of the processes of contradiction that are related to sociohistorical, landscape and economic aspects, I propose to demonstrate how urban transformations in the city, specifically those related to the port area, are linked to a political memory. Through the narratives of my interlocutors and research in the collection, I realized that the (re) qualification projects for the Cais Mauá are as historic as their resistance. With the decline of port activities in the 1980s, activists, policy makers and urban planners have dreamed differentiated developments for the region. In this sense, the resistance to the revitalization of the Cais Mauá emerges not only as the establishment of alternative plans, projects and proposals, but as a confrontation of the city models in the 21st century.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis debates over the conceptions of space and time in contemporary metropolis, starting from the ethnographic research of processes of territorialization and deterritorialization within afro-descendant population’s in south Brazil, in the cities of Caxias do Sul and Porto Alegre. This is an investigation about the symbolical plots produced by the residents while inhabitants of the city, focusing, in the processes of urban renewal, the way trought which ethnic identities emerge and how it defines territorialities. In Porto Alegre - capital of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil - heterogeneous metropolis with great cultural fragmentation, two communities of remainders of quilombos are focused, Quilombo do Areal and Família Fidelix, as well as the symbolical appropriation of the Central Public Market by the followers of the Afro-brasillian religions, in the so-called Bará do Mercado Tradition. In Caxias do Sul, a city bounded by the Italian colonization, the process of urban transformation turns evident the presence of the alterity, through the emergence of other identities and narratives, bringing up social groups invisible until then. From the idea of the existence of a geopolitics of urban population, we look into the symbolical struggle between ethnic groups, in which invisibility, stigmatization, affirmation and positivation of identities are important aspects. In this way, we seek to understand the role that afro-brazilian group’s identities and memories plays in these cities. In this context, we are concerned with different scales of analysis: from the quotidian arranges and sociabilities of social groups in their way of occupying urban space, to the political-institutional scenario that defines politics for the protection of the nation’s diversity and cultural patrimony, in wich emerge themes as citizenship, nation, patrimony, ethnic groups, race and social class.

Pełny tekst źródłaGeração procedimental de conteúdo em videojogos consiste em abordagens algorítmicas à geração de conteúdo de jogos autónoma ou semiautónoma. É utilizada à vários anos como uma forma de diminuir o conteúdo que artistas e designers têm de criar, para os assistir na criação de conteúdo, para diminuir a quantidade de conteúdo que é necessário guardar em memória, e para permitir a possibilidade de jogos que não necessitam de terminar. Vários métodos têm sido desenvolvidos, cada um com as suas vantagens e desvantagens. Métodos baseados em agentes geram conteúdo com a ajuda de, normalmente simples, agentes IA independentes que tomam decisões que afetam o resultado final de alguma maneira. Este trabalho procura criar uma plataforma que utilize sistemas complexos adaptativos de agentes para modelar cenários de jogo. Dois cenários de jogo foram utilizados como prova de conceito. Um deles utiliza o famoso "Game of Life" de Conway, e o segundo uma adaptação do jogo de arcada "Bomberman". Uma interface gráfica do utilizador foi desenvolvida de modo a dar aos utilizadores uma forma de ver, interagir com, e editar a simulação. Uma ferramenta de cocriação baseada em geração procedimental de conteúdo foi também desenvolvida para auxiliar o utilizador na edição da simulação. A ferramenta usa o algoritmo "Wave Function Collapse" para propagar os padrões de uma área selecionada para o resto da grelha de simulação. A arquitetura desenvolvida teve sucesso em dar aos seus utilizadores o controlo necessário para incentivar a exploração dos cenários de jogo desenvolvidos. Tal plataforma poderá ser usada como uma base para o teste e exploração de abordagens de geração procedimental de conteúdo.
Procedural content generation in video games consists of algorithmic approaches to generate game content autonomously or semi-autonomously. It has been used for several years as a way to diminish the authorial burden of artists and designers, to assist them in the creation of the content, to diminish the amount of content needed to be stored in memory, and to enable the possibility of games that do not need to end. Several methods have been developed, each one with its advantages and disadvantages. Agent-based methods generate game artifacts with the help of, often very simplistic, AI agents that independently make decisions that affect the end result in some way. This work aims at creating a platform that utilizes complex adaptive systems of these agents to model game scenarios. Two proof of concept game scenarios were created. One of them used the famous Conway's Game of Life and the other an adaptation of the arcade game "Bomberman". A graphical user interface was developed in order to give users a way to view, interact with, and edit the simulation. A Procedural content generation-based co-creation tool was also developed to further aid the user. The tool uses the Wave Function Collapse algorithm to propagate the pattern style of a selected area to the rest of the simulation grid. The developed architecture is successful in giving the user the control needed to incentivize exploration of the developed game scenarios. Such a platform could be used as a base for the testing and exploration of PCG approaches.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe social regulation paradigm, which emerged with the Modern Age led the most prominent social thinkers to question the role of associations. By focusing on the reality of associations from a public housing neighbourhood, this paper aims to propose new approaches for thought and discussion around this movement. It has gained new momentum with the transition from organised to disorganised capitalism, and the subsequent so called collapse of the welfare state in complex democracy societies. In this exploratory research, focusing on the context observed, in the scope of the associative Framework, the top-down corporative (Cohem e Rogers) and management and provision of services (Viegas) matrix is dominant. One can also confirm Habermas’ theses and macro theories, in the sense that these relate rationality directed at practical ends and the self-mobilisation of associations as important factors in the involvement of individuals. On the whole, the data indicate a gap, if not a structuring difficulty, between the desired governance paradigm and the reality observed. Therefore, in this case, one can deem as justified, theses’ deriving from Weber’s describing exchange-based relationships, where associativism maintains a domesticative role, but also contributes to a decrease in the risk of individual anomie. When and where social emancipation exists, in most cases, it can only become effectively visible from generation to generation.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation aims to characterise the Chalcolithic social organisation in the first half of the third millennium B.C. in Southern Portugal, and to analyse the economical and social transformations that took place in the second half of the same millennium. These were related to the decline of the Chalcolithic mode of production in South-Western Iberia. The complex, more centralised and hierarchical Bronze Age societies emerged from the collapse of that social model. The theoretical constructions draw on the empirical record from the archaeological excavations, directed by the author, in the settlement of Porto das Carretas (Mourão), that surmount the left bank of Guadiana River. The site has been contextualised both at local (Triângulo da Luz territory) and regional scale (South-Western Iberian Peninsula). From the several factors explaining the process of change, the intensification of production was chosen for this study, as associated with technological and economical innovations. As far as the dawn of the Chalcolithic is concerned, it is necessary to follow the positive effects of the Secondary Products Revolution on the rates of growth of all the indicators of social development, such as productivity, sendentism and population density. For the first half of the third millennium B.C., the author proposes a complex tribal organisation model, where the social hierarchy was maintained in the kinship structure. The crisis of the Chalcolithic society gave way, in the second half of the third millennium B.C., to more unequal and hierarchical societies (Bell Beaker period), along with the development of copper metallurgy (copper-arsenic alloys) and craft specialisation.
