Özet:The main aim of this dissertation is to present data on and to discuss the activity engaged in by the household in the Classical Burgaz (Palaia Knidos) houses. Through the examination of nine recently excavated houses, combined with consideration of their artifact assemblages and architecture, it has been tried to gain insight into the use of domestic space and household organization at Burgaz (located in the Southwestern Anatolia) in 4th Century B.C. The theoretical foundation for this research is drawn from the anthropology of the house or domestic sphere, whose characteristics have been adopted by archaeologists and applied to ancient contexts in the form of “household archaeology”. Methodologically, the approach that draws from artifact patterning analyzed within a household archaeological framework was used. The results of the study demonstrate that a wide variety of variables must be considered when examining the artifacts of domestic assemblages including multi-functionality, condition, context, use status, and the overall organization of space.
