This panel discussion aims to address this oversight by exploring the typological similarities and differences among house models from three cultural areas of ancient Eurasia: the Balkans, Mesopotamia, and China. By conducting both synchronic and diachronic comparative analyses of these contexts, the participants of the panels seek to understand these objects better within their functional settings.
