Abstract
Social complexity is typically used to discuss hierarchical socio-political organization and the emergence of elites within society. This paper takes a fundamentally different view, arguing that social complexity can be removed from this strict definition and used to discuss social interactions and networks. Taken more fluidly, social complexity allows for exploration of how social networks intersect across different social scales. The dynamics of Bell Beaker pottery production are used to highlight how various scales of social interaction can be simultaneously discussed in terms of social complexity.
