The project posits that the materiality of households serves as a crucial lens to unveil how coloniality becomes ingrained in everyday life, using Lima, Peru as a case study. It explores how the domestic space in Lima for the upper-class has evolved since colonial times, while fundamental underlying divisions in this space between owners and servants have persisted. This research endeavours to shed light on how these spatial arrangements continue to symbolize social status and perpetuate racial inequalities. It is both historical and contemporary archaeology since the households used are a sample from the last five centuries in Lima.
