Abstract

This paper presents a new easy-to-use online browser app QuantWealth.eu for calculating prehistoric wealth display and inequality using count data from graves and physical measurement data from house floor areas. For graves, the app builds on Nørtoft (2022) to estimate exclusivity (here called “prestige”) values of grave goods, or other count data, plotted and made available for download, or used as input in the app’s inequality measurements such as the Gini and Absolute Gini. For houses, inequality these measurements are more straight forward from the raw floor area data. The app also features a time atlas and simple and flexible tools to visualize trends and developments of wealth display and inequality for any drawn area of the atlas, based on data submitted by the author and potential users. Thus, the more people use the app, we build an empirical overview of wealth display and inequality from two complementary modes of wealth expression over time with potential for global coverage.
