Hypothesis
Political integration in ethnographically-described societies is positively associated with complexity of ceramic art design and ceramic art styles (225)
Note
Only 16 cultures could be rated in eHRAF World Cultures that still made ceramics; political integration significantly related to complexity of style (.37), but not to complexity of design
