Food & Drink in Archaeology 3

edited by Dave Collard, James Morris, Elisa Perego, and Veronica Tamorri

The papers given at this conference range over many historic and prehistoric periods as well as continents and regions. Great strides have been made in recent decades in the various forms of botanical and physical analysis of archaeological finds which have enabled students to gain greater insight into diet and cooking technologies than was possible when all they had to go on was the survival of artefacts. These papers emanate from the cutting edge of archaeological research, among the postgraduates who will one day make up the teaching force of the world's universities.

The subjects covered in this year's proceedings include: Psychoactive consumption in Cypriot Bronze Age mortuary ritual; Elite ideology and feasting practices in Early Iron Age Greece; Intoxicating drinks and drunkards appearing in ancient Indian art and literature; the sixteenth century polemics about cold-drinking; Drinking in Roman taverns: water and wine storage and supply; Living and eating in coastal southern Brazil during Prehistory: a review; the deceased as metaphorical food in Iron Age Veneto (Italy); Food diversity in Mesolithic Scotland; Diversity and change in plant food consumption in Roman Britain; Feasting and the state in Uruk Mesopotamia; Prehistoric spoons: eating, drinking or holding. This academic title is copiously illustrated with figures and tables. 144p, b/w illus. (Prospect Books 2012)
