ARCH 2320 Household Archaeology in the Ancient Near East and Beyond [CRN: 16928]

House, home, household, family: defining these terms is not as easy as it might seem, especially across space and through time. After introducing the principles of household archaeology, this class will explore the state of this growing archaeological subfield in the Near East and eastern Mediterranean. We will also draw on developments in New World archaeology in analyzing the potential and problems of household archaeology and in articulating its future directions.

Tuesdays 4:00-6:20.

Rhode Island Hall, Room 008.

Instructor: Miriam Müller (miriam_muller@brown.edu).
