Graeber / Wengrow discuss "flood-retreat farming" on 235
"In terms of labor, flood-retreat farming is not only pretty light, it also requires little central management. Critically, such systems have a kind of inbuilt resistance to the enclosure and measurement of land [...] there is little incentive for long-term ownership or enclosure of fixed plots"
"If anything, flood-retreat farming was practically oriented toward the collective holding of land, or at least flexible systems of field reallocation"
