Introduction. Hygiene in the Ancient Near East: Power, Privilege, Inequality
Abstract
The papers in this collection were first presented at a workshop entitled Hygiene in the Ancient Near East: Power, Privilege, Inequality at the 68th Rencontre Assyriologique Internationale in Leiden (July 20th, 2023). The purpose of the workshop was to present the current knowledge on hygiene and cleanliness practices in the ancient Near East, with a particular focus on re-constructing the effects that these practices had at the social level. The workshop was part of the project GALATEO - Good Attitudes for Life in Assyrian Times: Etiquette and Observance of Norms in Male and Female Groups, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie (grant agreement No. 101027543).
