Acephalous
This is connected with societies regarded as "stateless societies" with no formal governmental institutions. Decisions are reached through consensus or general assembly. In pre colonial Nigeria, the Igbos were a typical example. They were also regarded egalitarian or republican(somehow) IngeniousProphet (talk) 16:30, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Minoan Crete Was Not Stateless
This article states that Minoan Crete was a stateless and rankless society, but this is clearly false. Minoan Society was centred around palaces that functioned as state centres for redistribution. Minoan art also showed clear stratification of classes. I can't speak for Indus and the Neolithic European civilisations also mentioned in the citation, but I am tempted to remove the whole sentence altogether for being of dubious scholarly quality.
