“…However, they also acknowledge that it is an overly broad concept that encompasses a great variation of sociopolitical, economic and territorial organisation. 32 In the seventeenth-century Sejarah Melayu, a prince from Palembang founded Singapura and was the first of five kings; the last king fled Singapore and founded Melaka. 33 Portuguese sources describe two sequential lineages, the second began and ended with the last ruler, a usurper prince from Palembang who founded Melaka after fleeing Singapore in the 1390s.…”

Ancient Singapore is often discussed exclusive of its cultural and historical context, a backward projection of the modern, independent city-state. Temasek is understood mainly in terms of being a maritime entrepôt with extensive trade connections. This research is interested in Temasek as a proto-historic Malay port-city, namely its social, political and economic organisation. It is an aspect of early Singapore, and of the Malay World, in general, we know very little about. However, more than three decades of archaeology have provided a wealth of data related to daily life in the settlement and the data has provided hints of a diverse sociocultural landscape. This study focuses on the relationship between metal production and social organisation, and employs a conceptual and interpretative framework that is both multidisciplinary and cross-cultural. Craft production is as much a social and political phenomenon as an economic and technological one, and studies of production systems can shed light on issues of power and control over resources and labour. The data suggest the presence of a social stratum that could generate and mobilise resources independent of the ruling elite. Metals were rare and valuable commodities during this period, however, the ruling class in Temasek did not appear to control nor restrict production of iron and copper-based goods as it did with glass. The results are by no means the final word on ancient Singapore or Malay society. Instead it provides a provisional model that can be tested with archaeological data, refined and expanded as more material becomes available.

“…Several researchers have employed inverted (Q) factor or cluster analytic techniques to empirically group individuals with similar profiles on various typing dimensions. The subjects of these investigations frequently have been lower-socioeconomicstatus men from a single state hospital or Veterans Administration treatment program (Bean & Karasievich, 1975;Goldstein & Linden, 1969;Nerviano, 1976;Skinner, Jackson, & Hoffman, 1974;Stein, Rozynko, & Pugh, 1971). As noted above, the typing dimensions usually have been personality variables (Lawlis & Rubin, 1971;Nerviano, 1976;Nerviano & Gross, 1973;Partington & Johnson, 1969;Skinner et al, 1974;Stein et al, 1971)-often from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Bean & Karasievich, 1975;Goldstein & Linden, 1969;Mogar, Wilson, & Helm, 1970;Whitelock, Overall, & Patrick, 1971).…”

Typically, the typology is related to few other variables, so the types remain relatively unelaborated, and the issues of their differential development and prognoses are not explored (but see Partington & Johnson, 1969).…”

Alcoholic patients from five heterogeneous residential treatment programs were empirically grouped into four high-and four low-social-competence clusters. Within each social competence category, clusters were differentiated by social-psychological resources (high, medium, and low) and family press to drink. The typology was related to background, intake, and outcome variables. A significant association between types and treatment programs was obtained, but an intensive search for patient-program interaction effects yielded no significant results. There was also no evidence that patient types sought or were assigned differential therapeutic regimens in the five programs. Results are discussed in terms of the utility of typologies and the matching and mismatching of patients and programs.A consensus is emerging among researchers that alcoholism is not a unitary behavioral phenomenon with one developmental pattern and progression and an asyet-undiscovered optimal treatment regimen leading to the singular outcome of abstinence (Mayer & Myerson, 1970;Pattison, 1976). Recognition of the multiple antecedents and drinking patterns involved in alcoholism and the development of diverse treatment programs with varying outcome objectives have fostered efforts to identify homogeneous subtypes within the alcoholic population. The utility of developing a typology of alcohol abusers is seen as threefold: (a) If distinctive developmental or etiological patterns for alcoholic subtypes could be isolated, then specific prevention programs might be formulated and effectively aimed

“…The heterogeneity of personality amongst alcoholics has often been remarked upon (e.g. Syme, 1957;Stein et al, 1971) and recent research has tended to be directed towards the isolation of personality types amongst alcoholics (e.g. Partington & Johnson, 1969).…”
