, help gratefully appreciated. Tl;dr I'm working on a first pass at learning a few things about Medieval Mali social organization. Reading a Gale Database source that talks about "clans" in society. Says clans often had an assigned/traditional occupation. I can't do more research using "clan" so I'm guessing that's not a standard term. Can anyone point me to some more useful terminology (ad even sources?!?!?) for these , maybe, occupational social groups ?????
