“…3 (2022) ment in area F/I only by comparing it to other settlements and we can evaluate the floor surfaces of the houses in area F/I only by comparing them to floor surfaces of other houses. Only by considering other classes and their relations to the workers can we consider inequality and precarity, since there were also those who did not had a roof over their heads and those whose roof was larger (Bussmann 2020;Driaux 2020). This leads us to the change in the settlement structure in area F/I which, as I will argue, can be interpreted as a reflection of the change in the social background and class of the inhabitants of this area.…”

Tell el-Dabca, ancient Avaris (eastern Delta in Egypt), was initially settled in the late 11th-early 12th dynasty, when a planned settlement was built in area F/I. This settlement was abandoned two times. The first abandonment was followed by the return of the same people, or the people of the same social background and class, to the existing planned settlement. After the second abandonment and a hiatus, the demolition and levelling of the area took place. These changes were previously interpreted as a simple reorganization of space. This paper argues that the changes in the settlement structure in the area, are a reflection of a profound change in the social background and class of the inhabitants. These changes are a consequence of class inequality and precarity understood as “politically induced condition” (Butler 2009: 25) which allowed the “gentrification” of the area.
