D-PLACE - Variable Cognatic kin groups [EA021]

Cognatic kin groups [EA021]

Description: The presence or probable absence, and the typology, of cognatic kin groups.

Code #	Code
1	Bilateral descent as inferred from the absence of reported ambilineal, matrilineal, or patrilineal kin groups, kindreds being absent or unreported
2	Kindreds: bilateral descent with specifically reported kindreds, i.e., Ego-oriented bilateral kin groups or categories
3	Ambilineal descent inferred from the presence of ambilocal extended families, true ramages being absent or unreported
4	Ramages, i.e., ancestor-oriented ambilineal kin groups, if they are agamous, endogamous, or not specifically stated to be exogamous
5	Exogamous ramages specifically reported
6	Bilateral descent with reported or probable quasi-lineages, i.e., cognatic groups approximating the structure of lineages but based on filiation rather than on unilineal or ambilineal descent
9	Absence of cognatic kin groups as inferred from the presence of unilineal descent
