Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renfrew argues that the people who built Stonehenge were organized in chiefdoms, which are characterized by a centralized authority figure (the chief) and social hierarchy based on kinship relations. This is supported by archaeological evidence such as the distribution of goods and burial patterns, which suggest that there was a small ruling elite who controlled access to resources and had the power to mobilize labor for large-scale construction projects.
