The excavations so far have focused on three areas of this very large site: a centrally located upper-class fourth-century AD house with wall paintings, an adjoining school, and underlying remains of a Roman bath complex; a more modest house of the third century; and the temple hill, with remains of the Temple of Thoth built in the first century AD and of earlier structures. Architectural conservation has protected and partly restored two standing funerary monuments, a mud-brick pyramid and a tower tomb, both of the Roman period. This volume presents and discusses the architecture, artifacts and ecofacts recovered from B2 in a holistic manner, which has rarely before been attempted in a full report on the excavation of a Romano-Egyptian house. The primary aim of this volume is to combine an architectural and material-based study with an explicitly contextual and theoretical analysis. In so doing, it develops a methodology and presents a case study of how the rich material remains of Romano-Egyptian houses may be used to investigate the relationship between domestic remains and social identity. 410 0$aAmheida (Series) ;$v2. 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zEgypt$zDakhla Oasis 607 $aDakhla Oasis (Egypt)$xAntiquities 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a932/.2 700 $aBoozer$b Anna Lucille$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01538072 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798197503321 996 $aAmheida II$93787821 997 $aUNINA
