"Household Archaeology in the Middle East and Beyond: Theory, Method and Practice" Conference
The Middle East Center at the University of Utah is pleased to announce a conference entitled “Household Archaeology in the Middle East and Beyond: Theory, Method and Practice” to be held February 19-21, 2009 at the Officer's Club, Fort Douglass on the campus of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City. The premise of this conference is that households are the loci of iterative actions where personal identities and economic, social and ideological interests of family or co-habitant groups intersect with and shape the trajectory of communities, conditioning community participation in broader socio-political processes. Material culture patterns are produced through, and are therefore a reflection of, dialectic interactions between local groups and larger regional processes.
