This research will describe and analyze the relationships between               environmental conditions, sociopolitical complexity and degree of               social stratification for 22 Micronesian islands.  The PI will do               archival research in a controlled comparison methodology.  Using                archaeological, ethnographic, ethnohistorical and linguistic                    sources the PI will reconstruct key elements of proto-Micronesian               culture to describe and analyze variations in political and                     stratification systems.                                                                                                                                         This project is important because it will provide a major                       synthesis of our knowledge of the peoples and cultures of                       Micronesia, and will provide a comparative case to similar                      studies for other areas of Polynesia.  By applying a phylogenetic                                                                                               approach to cultural evolution in a little-known part of the                    world it will enhance our understanding of how systems of                       inequality arise and persist in human societies.
