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.
