The major thrust of this work is the proposal of an effective and objective way to measure and evaluate community, kinship, ranking, and governance as they express complexity and power by means of statistical analyses of all the available archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnographic data. These results are then placed in a context of bordering Northwest Coast and neighbouring Northern Athapaskan, Eyak, Yupik, and Inupiat societies in order to demonstrate the continuities and clinal nature (distance-decay) of the observed and measured cultural variation. The ultimate goal is the measurement and interpretation of socio-cultural complexity in protohistoric hunter-fisher-gatherer societies in northwestern North America.
