Archaeology of Ancient Housing

3 credits · Undergraduate credit

All of us have a home, whether it consists of a whole house or a single room, and most of us have strong views about how that home should be furnished and decorated. We all know that entering into someone else's house can reveal much about his or her character. In the same way, studying the physical remains of domestic buildings-including their decoration and furnishings-reveals much about the behavior and character of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
