II. Short Answer (when, where, significance, sites)
What is the difference between an "idealized" Band, Tribe, Chiefdom, and State?
Band = Hunter-Gather foragers in nuclear families and extended families who usually band together during certain times of the year to e.g. hunt cooperatively.
(Big Men lead through prestige. Tribal leaders are often ignored. Chiefs have more power and state leaders have means of physical coercion).
Tribe = A set of villages in alliance. A Village based alliance system, often forced upon the villages for mutual defense as a reaction to an external threat. This is where ethnic identities often emerge from. It is rare that an individual does things for the tribe. More often it was for personal gain or prestige to assist the family.
Chiefdom = 2 societal levels exist. The high kin chief's group and then the work group. Based upon kinship. Chiefs have more power to comple followers.
States = The leaders have armies to compel their orders and bureacracy.
