ARKEO 7257
The Archaeology of Houses and Households

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This advanced seminar focuses on the archaeological study of houses, households, families, and communities. How is the study of domestic life transforming our understanding of ancient societies? How can we most effectively use material evidence to investigate the practices, experiences, identities, and social dynamics that made up the everyday lives of real people in antiquity, non-elite as well as elite? To address these questions, we will survey and critically examine historical and current theories, methods, and approaches within the field of household archaeology. This course is intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates with some previous background in archaeology, material culture studies, or related fields. (ARKEO-TM)


Prerequisites some previous coursework in archaeology, material culture studies, or related fields.
