Abstract
Dwellings are equated with units of production in a descent commissioned nonmarket economy. Change in house size is construed as a by-product of social processes mediating circulations in status-yielding redistribution networks. Change in structure size at Cahokia is cited as an analogue of elaborating domestic corporations.Keywords
