Archaeologies of Social Life by Lynn Meskell
Offers a perspective on everyday life in ancient Egypt. This book provides discussions of topics of debate, including the body, sexuality and issues of identity, and also addresses some of the traditional questions in archaeology about society and self, the individual and social relations.
"The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of social anthropology, although chapters focussing on Deir el Medineh will interest Egyptologists as well" Religious Studies Review
"[T]his study is a welcome addition to archeological research which employs various theories in order to present more data from an ancient, long-gone past." Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient
