Description

"Archaeologies of Social Life is a new perspective on everyday life in ancient Egypt. The author provides detailed discussions of new topics of debate, including the body, sexuality and issues of identity, while also addressing some of the traditional questions in archacology about society and self, the individual and social relations." "The book is unusual in examining ordinary life in ancient Egypt rather than focusing on the traditional subjects of pharaohs and elites. Meskell makes Egyptian social history available to an archaeological audience and shows the reader how factors such as age class, sex and ethnicity were played out in the lives of real people."--BOOK JACKET.
