“…This fusion, called 'double-style' in the literature, involves Osing et ai 1982;Venit 1997;Whitehouse 1998). Recent studies have employed more sophisticated theoretical models to explain how individuals deployed specific motifs in order to promote their identity for the afterlife and that these signatures varied by gender and location (Riggs 2002;2008). Moreover, it seems that Egyptian motifs were associated with death and may have been employed in mortuary contexts, regardless of the tomb owner's beritage (Whitehouse 1998).…”

This article furthers recent gains made in applying gbbalization perspectives to the Roman world by expbring two Romano-Egyptian houses that used Roman material culture in different ways within the city known as Trimithis (modem dayAmheida, in Egypt). Ln so doing, Lsuggest that concepts drawn Jrom globalization theory will help us to disentangle and interpret how homogeneous Roman Mediterranean goods may appear heterogeneous on the bcal level This theoretical vantage is broadly applicable to other regions in the RomanMediterranean, as well as other environments in which individuals refiected a multifaceted relationship with their bcal identity and the broader social milieu.

“…This dipinto is a didactic exercise, which indicates that the children of the house were classically educated (Cribiore et al. ). Poetry found elsewhere at Trimithis and in Dakhleh suggests that a Greek education was important for the elite of Roman Dakhleh (Boozer ; Worp and Hope ).…”

“…The importance of Homer and Hellenism to the identity of the inhabitants is further emphasized by the presence of the Greek dipinto in room 15 to the north of the house proper (Cribiore et al. ). These discursive traces reveal the image that Serenos and his family actively constructed for display.…”

“…During the Late Roman period, the "Roman" ethnic category was complicated as well. Rome had been a multicultural environment with a variety of influences since its earliest days (Coarelli 1996(Coarelli [1972Wallace-Hadrill 2007, 2008. At the time of Egypt's occupation, the term "Roman" was more of a political than an ethnic category (Wallace-Hadrill 2008:41).…”

“…ceramics and prestige objects cover the site surface in the vicinity of B1. The immediate surroundings of B1 include a schoolroom, which contains a dipinto (painted writing) of rhetorical text, and a courtyard to the north (Cribiore et al 2008). To the south of B1 lies a house with a similar layout, which suggests that these houses were laid out as part of a unified construction effort (Boozer 2010).…”

This article explores how concepts of "trace" might help archaeologists disentangle and interpret the material remains of ordinary life. Trace is a theoretical vantage long exploited by social theorists to explore the unintentional, quotidian residues of ordinary people. The term trace is relevant to archaeology because it refocuses attention from active agency to more subtle undercurrents within daily life rhythms. I explore two Romano-Egyptian houses from the same city from a trace perspective in order to reveal the small-scale daily life choices of individuals. The results of this exploration suggest future directions for the archaeological use of trace to explore materiality, everyday life, and subtle signatures of multi-cultural scenarios.
