"Archaeologies of Social Life" is a fascinating new perspective on
everyday life in ancient Egypt. The author provides detailed
discussions of new topics of debate, including the body, sexuality
and issues of identity, while also addressing some of the
traditional questions in archaeology about society and self, the
individual and social relations. The book is unusual in examining
ordinary life in ancient Egypt rather that focusing on the
traditional subjects of pharaohs and elites.Meskell makes Egyptian
social history available to an archaeological audience and shows
the reader how factors such as age, class, sex and ethnicity were
played out in the lives of real people. The author takes an
interdisciplinary approach to the subject, combining theories of
third wave feminism with the archaeological data of New Kingdom
Egypt. She presents innovative theory from the social sciences and
puts it into practice to reveal individuals in antiquity, relating
the issues of their lives to our experience of society today.
