520			_aThis book is based on a doctoral thesis in anthropology accepted by the University of London in 1978 and entitled 'The economic and social organization of selected Mohmand Pukhtun settlements". To Professor A.C. Mayer, my supervisor at the School of Oriental and African Studies, goes my deepest gratitude for his supervision and encourage- ment in the preparation of this work from its very inception in 1974. I also wish to thank Professor E. Gellner, Dr H. Alavi and Dr R. Tapper for reading the manuscript and making valuable suggestions. The involvement and sympathy of Mr P. Hopkins has been a constant source of encouragement. My debt to my wife in the preparation of the study is immeasurable. Not only was she an indefatigable field assistant but she typed the thesis and its drafts. I wish to record my gratitude to the Central Research Fund, University of London, the Scholarships Committee, School of Oriental and African Studies and the Ford Foundation for making available funds to support my university attachment. I would like to dedicate this book to my son, Babar, with love.
