Central Italian Elite Groups as Aristocratic Houses in the Ninth to Sixth Centuries BCE

This chapter demonstrates the applicability of C. Lévi-Strauss’s “House Society” model for considering the role of kinship in the early moments of state formation and urbanization in Iron Age Latium and Etruria. After a brief theoretical overview of the model, the discussion focuses on two main axioms which are often overlooked in the model’s application to the ancient world: (1) a physical house does not make a social House, and (2) a single House does not make a Society. This is followed by an overview of how material evidence from sites ranging from Vetulonia to Osteria dell’Osa and textual evidence from the Twelves Tables can be interpreted through the lens of a “House Society” to create new models for the development of complex social systems in central Italy.

House (bayit)

Ancient Israel was a house society that organized itself into concentrically larger social groupings and geographic areas under the rubric of the single Hebrew word for house: bayit. The Bible and the origin stories contained within it is the heirloom valuable of ancient Israel’s foundational houses. In the patrilineal genealogies of foundational men, we find an idealized memory of the direct and unmediated transference of material and immaterial inheritance from father to designated son within the fixed geography of a named house. At the same time, the house of the father subdivides into maternally named units that have significant social ramifications for the sons nested within them. Sons who trace their genealogical pathway to the house-founding father through a primary wife become heirs to their father’s house. Sons who trace their pathway to the father through low-status wives find themselves nameless and socially and geographically peripheral. The division of a man’s house into hierarchically arranged maternal subunits is seen in the story of Abraham’s death and burial (Gen 25) and Joseph’s ascent to heir within the house of Jacob (Gen 37-48).
