Two extensive bibliographic essays provide an overview of published literature relating to housing in this period. A selection of thematic essays focus on episcopia, lighting, privacy vs. public access, and building regulations. These are complemented by regional syntheses covering Spain and Africa and case studies of recently investigated urban houses from across the Mediterranean, from Gaul to Jordan. Whilst being firmly based in Late Antiquity, the volume also looks forward to Middle Byzantine and Early Islamic housing, with papers on rock-cut houses in Cappadocia and a wealthy "dar" from Pella in Jordan, destroyed by earthquake, with its inhabitants inside, in A.D. 749. These papers survey developments in Mediterranean housing from the fourth to sixth centuries AD, with some addressing later and less well known periods. Among the topics are episcopal residences in northern Italy, the architecture of spatial control for public use and privacy in Asia Minor, Carthage and its territory, and an Umayyad period house at Pella in Jordan A collection of papers, arising from the conference series Late Antique Archaeology, examines the housing in the late antique period, through thematic and regional syntheses, complemented by cases studies and two bibliographic essays
