- Abstract
Agriculture, the main component of civilization, provides a surplus, which requires storage in pits or pottery vessels. Surplus led to conflicts and necessitated the emergence of social complexity to protect it. The appearance and diffusion of pottery vessels is associated in the Old World with the spread of agriculture itself. In the New World, the earliest evidence of domesticated plants was discovered in Mexico and dates to the 8th Millennium BC. In North America, similar evidence dates to the end of the Middle Archaic. This paper juxtaposes nonagriculture social complex societies in North America and compares them to their counterparts in the parts of the Old World, such as Nabta Playa and Sudan. These societies made pottery and practiced at least one form of sedentism while relying on subsistence-bases other than agriculture.
