The emergence of states has been a focal concern of archaeology for many years. Although comparative methods have played a significant role in these approaches, controlled comparisons employing large samples of cases and multivariate statistical methods of analysis have been rare. The authors follow up on a previous article by employing multivariate data coded for a large sample of archaeological cases and a variety of statistical methods to empirically examine state origins.

Key Words: cross-cultural research • cultural evolution • state origins
