The concept "house" is of prime importance for Assyriological research,
being both the "house" as a physical entity and the household as a basic
socio-economic unit. In a number of articles archaeologists discuss and
present houses found in Near Eastern excavations, spatial organization
of settlements and the ethnological background of living in the ancient
Near East. The articles by philologists are devoted to the study of
administrative texts from Near Eastern households, building techniques,
domestic religion and other topics revealed by ancient Mesopotamian
texts.
