Diminished models of houses appear across archaeological sites of ancient Eurasia, beginning from the Neolithic times, but they are largely overlooked as a form of mapping. This panel discussion aims to address this oversight by exploring the typological similarities and differences among house models from three cultural areas of ancient Eurasia: the Balkans, Mesopotamia, and China. By conducting both synchronic and diachronic comparative analyses of these contexts, the participants of the panels seek to understand these objects better within their functional settings.
