Despite the ethnographic importance of the Southeast Asian house and household, an explicitly Southeast Asian “household archaeology” is still in its infancy. Nevertheless, archaeologists in Southeast Asia have undertaken excavations within habitation areas and residential spaces, identifying domestic debris, the partial remains of house structures, and activity areas. As a result, archaeologists of Southeast Asia have addressed many topics of relevance to those who use a household archaeology approach, including the identification and description of houses and household activities; the domestic economy; domestic ritual; diversity and variability both within houses as related to questions of identity, specifically gender and age, and between houses, especially as related to status; and identification of supra-household communities. In this review, I consider how archaeologists have addressed these themes using examples from a diverse set of geographic locations and time periods in mainland and island Southeast Asia. I conclude with suggestions for future research directions to continue building an archaeology of residential spaces and communities in Southeast Asia.

尽管东南亚房屋和家庭具有民族学的重要性，但明确的东南亚“家庭考古学”仍处于起步阶段。尽管如此，东南亚的考古学家还是在居住区和住宅空间内进行了挖掘，确定了家庭残骸、房屋结构的部分遗迹和活动区域。因此，东南亚考古学家解决了许多与家庭考古学方法相关的主题，包括房屋和家庭活动的识别和描述；国内经济；家庭仪式；家族内部与身份问题（特别是性别和年龄）相关的多样性和可变性，以及家族之间（特别是与地位相关的问题）的多样性和可变性；以及超家庭社区的识别。在这篇评论中，我考虑了考古学家如何使用来自东南亚大陆和岛屿不同地理位置和时期的例子来解决这些主题。最后，我对未来的研究方向提出了建议，以继续建立东南亚居住空间和社区的考古学。
