The transition to the Late Bronze Age was characterized by fundamental changes in the nature of Cypriot society as it shifted from being largely egalitarian and inward looking to socially stratified and cosmopolitan. This chapter proposes an agent-centered approach to investigating the dynamic interrelationship between people and place. It then discusses the Protohistoric Bronze Age house and household, emphasizing the role of the house as a place that materialized social boundaries and structured social interaction among household members, and between residents and visitors in the course of daily practice. Wilk and W. L. Rathje defined the household as consisting of the social, the material, and the behavioral. The chapter concludes by examining the household within its urban context by considering how its members became increasingly enmeshed in various urban communities, from neighborhoods through to the city itself, and how this was manifested in the materiality of house design, boundary maintenance, and city planning.
