Review
'Kent and her collaborators offer a stimlating array of perspectives on the form and use of domestic space. The diversity of approaches taken is valuable both for developing research design and for provoking exciting classroom discussion.' Wendy Ashmore, University of Pennsylvania
'This corpus of papers is certainly a valuable contribution to research on the creation, use and meaning of the built environment.' Michael Adler, Journal of Anthropological Research
'... this collection brings together studies and theoretical papers on functional and symbolic spatial relationships in buildings and settlements. Drawing upon examples from a wide range of cultures it is invaluable to researchers in both ethnoarchaeology and vernacular architecture.'
