Attention is given to how these are linked to the reproduction of the domestic group. The focus is particularly on the lifecycles of women, since it is they who are most closely associated with the accumulation of household assemblages and their spatial and quantitative restructuring through time. In the concluding sections, however, the contrasts with the ideal lifecycles of men are examined. While in broad terms these can be seen to complement one another, they have quite different implications for how objects and space are distributed from one generation to the next. The wider implications of these patterns for understanding the formation of household assemblages are then discussed with reference to how artefacts and buildings are deployed in the social construction of memory.
