SMALL FINDS IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HOUSEHOLD. MULTIFUNCTIONALITY AND ACTIVITIES IN BUILDING B AT TELL EL-GHABA (NORTH SINAI)

This work is presented as a continuation of previous writings in which the concept of 'small finds' has been problematized and a review of the materials catalogued as small finds for Tell El-Ghaba archaeological site has been systematised and conducted. This urban settlement was occupied between the beginning of the Third Intermediate Period and the Early Saite Period. The focus of this paper is to study the small finds recovered in Building B considering their contextual relationships, characteristics, and possible meanings in a structure defined as domestic. The detailed contextual study of small finds in a domestic context such as Building B aims to contribute to the scarce studies of this matter in the eastern Delta.
