Hypotheses
- Social stratification in archaeologically-described societies is positively associated with ceramic design complexity and ceramic style complexityPeregrine, Peter N. - Cultural correlates of ceramic styles, 2007 - 3 Variables
This study replicates John L. Fischer's (1961) cross-cultural analysis to demonstrate the correlation between art styles and social hierarchy and postmarital residence. The author suggests that archaeological ceramics might be used to predict social characteristics of prehistoric societies.

L. - Art styles as cultural cognitive maps, 1961 - 2 Variables
This paper tests theory suggesting that art is a form of expressive cultures which ultimately is shaped by the social conditions under which people in a society live. Focuses on social hierarchy and its relationship to art styles.

This study tests Fischer's (1961) cross-cultural hypotheses about the association between social structure and styles of art using formal design elements on painted vases in ancient Greece. Results show support for all of Fischer's hypotheses.
