Abstract: | Bam, Iran, was destroyed by a powerful earthquake in December 2003. In what is perhaps Iran’s greatest tragedy in living memory,
the majority of the mud brick houses and concrete buildings were completely flattened and more than half of the city’s population
was killed. Five years after the disaster, a team of Iranian archaeologists and ethnographers excavated the remains of six
houses destroyed in the earthquake. The excavated material culture demonstrates the stark contrasts between the residents’
public lives lived outside of their homes, and their private lives lived inside of their homes. |
