The foundational tenets of household archaeology were established
more than three decades ago by anthropological archaeologists
seeking multiscalar approaches to the archaeological record. The
study of the household as the basic unit of society and as a window
to larger social, economic, and political change reflected in the
everyday actions of individual people has since become integral to
archaeological practice. However, the subfield today remains as
diverse in theoretical underpinnings as it is in practical
applications. This volume—proceedings of a three-day conference
held at the University of Utah—revisits conceptualizations of the
household in both past and present societies, evaluates the current
place of household archaeology within the wider field of
anthropological and archaeological research, and presents the
newest technical advances implementing a household archaeological
framework. New Perspectives on Household Archaeology exhibits the
breadth and depth of studies in household archaeology currently
being undertaken, including studies on household time cycles in
Early Bronze Age Cyprus, the socio-technical aspects of barley
cultivation in Neolithic Jordan, and urban neighborhoods in the
early Indus Valley tradition. More than simply reflecting the
“state of the field,” this volume highlights the significant
contributions Near Eastern archaeologists and their eastern
Mediterranean colleagues are making to advance the study of ancient
households and to apply this information to larger questions of
sociocultural importance.
