The establishment of sedentary agriculture and the development of pottery did not occur before the rise of chiefdoms in Neolithic societies. Sedentary agriculture allowed for the production of surplus food, which supported larger populations and social complexity. Pottery played a crucial role in storing food and other resources, as well as in trade and cultural expression. Both these developments were significant factors contributing to the emergence of chiefdoms in Neolithic societies.

Bands, tribes, chiefdoms, and states represent stages in the evolution of social organization, often influenced by factors such as population density, resource management, and social complexity. Bands are small, egalitarian groups that rely on foraging, while tribes form larger communities with shared cultures and agricultural practices. Chiefdoms emerge as leaders consolidate power and resources, creating more hierarchical structures. Finally, states develop with centralized authority, complex bureaucracies, and distinct social classes, often driven by economic and political factors.
