Beschreibung

The Archaeology of Food explores food and culture in the past. It explains how archaeologists reconstruct what people were eating hundreds and even thousands of years ago, and discusses how ancient foodways related to economic strategies, political ambitions, ethnic identities, racial tensions, gender norms, religious affiliations, and more.

Über den Autor

Katheryn C. Twiss is an archaeologist who studies ancient foodways in order to learn about social structures in the prehistoric and early historic past. Her primary areas of expertise are southwest Asian prehistory, zooarchaeology, animal management and symbolism, and life in early farming communities. She co-headed the team studying animal remains at the well-known Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük in Turkey, and she is currently in charge of analyzing animal bones from the famed Mesopotamian site of Ur. She edited The Archaeology of Food And Identity (2007). She has published on topics ranging from feasting in early farming villages to Mesopotamian ceremonialism.
