| Summary: | How did the ancient inhabitants of Palestine utilize space for food production? Can the rooms of an ancient home and the artifacts found in it tell us something about the individual members of the household and allow us to reconstruct aspects of ancient life that are invisible in the palaces, fortifications and other monumental constructions that have traditionally preoccupied archaeologists? In particular, can we assess the different contributions made by men and women to sustaining a household? The remains of the four-room house from Tel Halif help to provide an answer to these most basic of questions. |
