Ancient Greek Houses and Households Chronological, Regional, and
Social Diversity Edited by Bradley A. Ault and Lisa C. Nevett "The
volume represents a significant step towards a deeper and more
nuanced understanding of Greek houses and households."--"BMCR" "An
excellent update on new finds in the domestic sphere in Greece and
a cautious start to the development of new theories and methods for
addressing the archaeological and textual evidence."--"Classical
Outlook" Seeking to expand both the geographical range and the
diversity of sites considered in the study of ancient Greek
housing, "Ancient Greek Houses and Households" takes readers beyond
well-established studies of the ideal classical house and
now-famous structures of Athens and Olynthos. Bradley A. Ault and
Lisa C. Nevett have brought together an international team of
scholars who draw upon recent approaches to the study of households
developed in the fields of classical archaeology, ancient history,
and anthropology. The essays cover a broad range of chronological,
geographical, and social contexts and address such topics as the
structure and variety of households in ancient Greece, facets of
domestic industry, regional diversity in domestic organization, and
status distinctions as manifested within households. "Ancient Greek
Houses and Households" views both Greek houses and the
archeological debris found within them as a means of investigating
the basic unit of Greek society: the household. Through this
approach, the essays successfully point the way toward a real
integration between material and textual data, between archeology
and history. Contributors include William Aylward (University of
Wisconsin, Madison), Nicholas Cahill (University of Wisconsin,
Madison), Manuel Fiedler (Freie Universitat, Berlin), Franziska
Lang (Humboldt Universitat, Berlin), Monike Trumper (Universitat
Heidelberg), and Barbara Tsakirgis (Vanderbilt University,
Nashville). Bradley A. Ault is Associate Professor of Classics at
the University at Buffalo, of the State University of New York. He
is the author of "The Houses: The Organization and Use of Domestic
Space, Excavations at Ancient Halieis," Vol. 2. Lisa C. Nevett
teaches in the Departments of Classical Studies and the History of
Art at the University of Michigan. She is the author of "House and
Society in the Ancient Greek World" and "Domestic Space in
Classical Antiquity." 2005 200 pages 6 x 9 45 illus. ISBN
