No Place Like Home: Ancient Near Eastern Houses and Households had
its genesis in a series of six popular and well-attended ASOR
conference sessions on Household Archaeology in the Ancient Near
East. A selection of papers are presented here, together with four
invited contributions. The 18 chapters are organized in three
thematic sections. Chapters in the first, Architecture as Archive
of Social Space, profile houses as records of the lives of
inhabitants, changing and adapting with residents; many offer a
background focus on how human behavior is shaped by the walls of
one’s own home. This section also includes innovative approaches
to understanding who dwelled in these homes. For instances, one
chapter explores evidence for children in a house, another surveys
what it was like to live in a military barracks. The middle
section, The Active Household, focuses on the evidence for how
residents carried out household activities including work and food
preparation. Chapters include the ‘heart of household
archaeology’ in their application of activity area research, but
also drill down to the social significance of what residents were
doing or eating, and where such actions were taking place. The
final section, Ritual Space at Home, features studies on the house
as ritual space. The entire complement of chapters provides the
latest research on houses and households spanning the Chalcolithic
to the Roman periods and from Turkey to Egypt.
