- "Stratification shows a significant, strong over-all association with size of political unit, with a strong tendency for complex stratification to be associated with 'states' and hereditary aristocracy with 'little states'" (694)Aberle, David F. - Matrilineal descent in cross-cultural perspective, 1961 - 2 Variables
This chapter explores and tests some propositions about matrilineal societies. Supplementary to that discussion, the author also explores the problems of method associated with the use of coded data on large samples of cultures.

They are more commonly in the 'dominant horticulture' category than patrilineal systems at low levels; there is no significant difference between matrilineal and bilateral systems at this level" (698)Aberle, David F. - Matrilineal descent in cross-cultural perspective, 1961 - 3 Variables

As we go from 'plough' agriculture to 'African horticulture,' and thence to 'dominant horticulture' and 'other horticulture,' the percentage of cases at or below the community level rises regularly . . ."
