1. Consider the region that you are focusing on for your final paper and provide two examples of the materialization of ideology at the beginnings of state-level society. What are the types of archaeological materials involved? Provide specific dates or time periods associated with these examples, if possible.

2. Compare ceremonial events described for either the Moche or the Inka with evidence from your chosen study area. What are the similarities or differences?

3. Describe the effects of scale on materialization of ideology as explained in the article. How do simple chiefdoms, complex chiefdoms/states, and empires differ in their degree of investment and in proportion in their "materialization of ideology"?
