尽管亲属关系在关键的人类学争论中扮演着核心角色，但最近考古学上发现亲属关系的努力却非常稀少。在这里，年龄和性别分布和牙齿形态特征，反映了遗传亲和力被用来争辩说，特定的亲属群体被埋葬在正式的，空间离散的墓地在祖先的祖尼解决Hawikku。推断的亲属群体，然后用来调查Hawikku的政治结构。结果表明，社区领导人，确定的基础上，丧葬待遇和严重的产品，从少数亲属群体中选出，这表明一个归因的因素，领导人的选择。
Despite the central role that kinship plays in key anthropological arguments, recent archaeological efforts to detect kinship have been notably scarce. Here, age and sex distributions and dental morphology traits that reflect genetic affinity are used to argue that specific kin groups were buried in formal, spatially discrete cemeteries in the ancestral Zuni settlement of Hawikku. The inferred kin groups are then used to investigate Hawikku political structure. Results show that community leaders, identified on the basis of mortuary treatments and grave offerings, were selected from a small number of kin groups, suggesting an ascriptive element to leadership selection.
