This chapter explores a dialogue between the documentary and archaeological evidence of extended household relationships in order to determine the realities of daily life in Roman Egypt as well as the parameters of what archaeological data can reveal about household composition. It devises a methodology for archaeologically exploring household and intra-site relationships in Roman Egypt. An archaeological methodology will enable us to interpret extant Romano-Egyptian house data alongside emerging archaeological data from ongoing excavations. The combination of data from both regions provides us with refined and broad data sets that inform understanding of extended family relationships in Roman Egypt more generally. The chapter analyzes four complete houses from Soknopaiou Nesos, in the Fayum, which were excavated in the early 1930s. It examines four houses from Kellis, which were excavated in the 1980s and 1990s using modern techniques. The chapter considers two houses from Trimithis in the Dakhleh Oasis, which were excavated in the 2000s.
