Houses and their Furnishings in Bronze Age Palestine
Domestic Activity Areas and Artifact Distribution in the Middle and Late Bronze Ages
P.M. Michèle Daviau (Author)

Description
This creative study of second millennium Palestinian houses identifies the domestic activities represented by ancient artifacts and locates those activities in the domestic space. In Part I, the author designs typical artifacts drawn from observation of the iconography of New Kingdom Egypt. In Part II, application of these paradigms to the pottery and other artifacts from 22 Palestinian sites reveals five main types of domestic activity: food preparation and consumption, storage, pottery production, textile manufacture and weaving.

Contents:
Theory and method
Model building
The Middle Bronze Age
Late Bronze Age houses
Activity areas and similarity coefficients
Distribution of domestic activities
Reclaiming an incomplete archaeological record
