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. Contributors:
