And in the Slavic zadruga into the 20th. (My understanding is that it was broken by a combination of industrialization and communism -- the Communist Party, that is. I guess they didn't like joint ownership at the household level.)
BTW, my recent zadruga research turned up the term "yoke" (1.52 acres), which must relate to what you can plow with a yoke of animals.
