In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

This volume results from a colloquium organized for the 102nd General Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, held in San Diego, California, on January 5th , 2001. Originally entitled Households at the Margins of Greek Society, all of the papers presented in San Diego are included here in more fully developed form. In addition, two further contributions were solicited, those of William Aylward and Monika Trümper, which serve to broaden the already wide ranging scope of the project. Recognizing that variability rather than marginality was a more appropriate overarching theme, we revised the title of the book to Ancient Greek Houses and Households: Chronological, Geographical, and Social Diversity. Especial thanks are due to the following individuals and organizations. James. R. McCaw worked extensively on many of the drawings appearing here (especially those in Chapters 2, 6, and 9, and Maps 1.1 and 2.1). Margie Towery was responsible for compiling the index. The Department of Classical Studies at the Universiy of Michigan, Ann Arbor, generously provided funds for the indexing. To the Samuel Kress Foundation, for making travel funds available for Manuel Fiedler and Franziska Lang, and the Research Committee of the Faculty of Arts at the Open University for Lisa Nevett, to attend the initial conference in San Diego. To the Archaeological Institute of America for accepting and hosting our colloquium. At the University at Buffalo, Stephen L. Dyson, Park Professor of Classics, encouraged and aided our road to publication in a variety of ways, and the Dean’s Fund, of the College of Arts and Sciences, helped to provide subvention for the cost of illustrations. At the University of Pennsylvania Press, Walda Metcalf originally approached us with the offer of publication; and Eric Halpern, Director of the Press, and Alison Anderson, Managing Editor, have shown us unXagging support in seeing it through. Finally, we are grateful to two anonymous reviewers of the manuscript for their helpful suggestions. Finally, our collective debt to Mike Jameson, who, sadly, passed away on August 18, 2004, is acknowledged through the dedication of this work to him and his memory. Acknowledgments ...
