STEGA : The Archaeology of Houses and Households in Ancient Crete Paperback / softback
Edited by Kevin T. Glowacki, Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan
Part of the Hesperia Supplement series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume presents the papers of an international colloquium on the archaeology of houses and households in ancient Crete held in Ierapetra in May 2005.
The 38 papers presented here range from a discussion of household activities at Final Neolithic Phaistos to the domestic correlates of "globalization" during the early Roman Empire.
These studies demonstrate a variety of methodological approaches currently employed for understanding houses and household activities.
Key themes include understanding the built environment in all of its manifestations, the variability of domestic organization, the role of houses and households in mediating social (and perhaps even ethnic) identity within a community or region, household composition, and of course, household activities of all types, ranging from basic subsistence needs to production and consumption at a suprahousehold level.
