Summary, Etc.  

요약The disuse and abandonment of once luxurious houses followed by the widespread emergence of squalid living conditions is a recurring trope in catastrophic narratives about the fall of Rome. Several studies over the last three decades have highlighted archaeological evidence seemingly in support of this image, leading many to take the "end of the Roman house" as a given. These investigations, however, have been restricted to fragmentary and incomplete field data, and the ongoing emergence of more extensive evidence necessitates a reevaluation of previous understandings. My study responds to this by investigating the transformation of 46 recently documented residential buildings in the ancient city of Rome, its suburb, and broader regional setting from the 1st-7th century CE. Examining the data at a granular level, I frame these houses as dynamic and lived-in spaces rather than simple markers of continuity or discontinuity. In particular, I focus on the evidence for 16 activities preserved in their stratigraphic and architectural records, supporting a contextual analysis of each house's use and disuse over time. In order to accomplish this close reading and convey its results, my dissertation includes an interactive catalogue designed with the game engine Unity3D. This takes the form of a digital map that supplies graphic summaries of the complex archaeological data at the heart of my analysis, enabling a more comprehensive assessment compared with the normal practice of reducing sites to dots on a map. The recognition offered by this approach shows that domestic abandonment is frequently misunderstood. Rather than a symptom of chaos and decline, it is an outcome of long-term domestic processes. I argue that Roman houses, far from being ideal structures, were subject to constant transformation and variable trajectories. To illustrate this, I identify five essential types of change that shaped residential buildings leading up to their abandonment, proposing this as a useful framework for future studies. Despite classicists' assumption that they were, I find that these transformations were not unique to Late Antiquity. Instead, I consider how the adaptable and resilient practices of non-elite Romans might have shaped the afterlife of residential buildings as early as the 1st century CE, prompting us to rethink the conventional narrative surrounding the end of the Roman house.
