Explores the archaeological remains of housing in the Greek and Roman worlds, using written evidence and artistic representations to set them in a wider cultural framework. Together, this material is used to address wider questions about social structure, change through time and patterns of cultural interaction.

This 1999 archaeological study considers traditional assumptions about social relationships in Greek households during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It focuses on the domestic organisation of individual households, gender relations, and their links with outsiders and with the wider social structures of the city state, and how these changed with time.
