Households in Context
Households in Context shifts
the focus from monumental temples, tombs, and elite material and
visual culture to households and domestic life to provide a crucial
new perspective on everyday dwelling practices and the interactions
of families and individuals with larger social and cultural
structures. A focus on households reveals the power of the
everyday: the critical role of quotidian experiences, objects, and
images in creating the worlds of the people who live with them.
The contributors to this book share contemporary research on
houses and households in both Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt to reshape
the ways we think about ancient people's lived experiences of
family, community, and society. Households in Context
places the archaeology and history of Greco-Roman Egypt in dialogue
with research on dwelling, daily practice, and materiality to
reveal how ancient households functioned as laboratories for
social, political, economic, and religious change.
