The structural form may be represented in buildings and and other ways that people mark their presence and importance within a social group and the findings and analysis of archaeologists are full of of what we call Aztecs, The Egyptians, and Mayan the pyramids, for example, the Romans roads and baths. ancient Polynesians and British left standing stones. Biological anthropologists are able to analyse the relative health of bones found in very different graves, and make links between those containing goods of value with individuals who also demonstrate a superior skeletal health. These findings offer hints, then, about relative social status. An example can be seen in Anglo-Saxon burials. High-status males were often interred with swords, shields, and weaponry designating them as warriors while females were often buried with jewellery and other ornaments such as elaborate hair combs. In addition, there are examples of male Anglo-Saxon skeletons that have been buried with the orna mentation usually found in female burials the general view is that they were priests and as such seen as being outside of the normal boundaries of gender, but this offers an example of possible complexity. This is not to suggest that before the dates of these findings our ancestors were incapable of complex social behaviour, but merely that we don't have evidence preserved the archaeological record. Indeed, in today's world there are plenty of people whose social arrangements exhibit a defined hierarchy, but who have left little for future archaeologists to find.We must be careful not to class them as somehow inferior to groups who do leave a record of themselves. Those societies who left the buildings may have been very brutal. If we turn to the findings of social anthropologists, we can consider various examples of ways in which status is assigned in society today, and how this status affects relations between us First, there are qualities that we cannot easily change
