Many People, Many Plates: Archaeologies of Foodways
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2018
Food is not only nutrition. It is culture and history. Much of the foods people eat on a regular basis are the direct result of long complex historical processes. Archaeology not only provides insight into what people ate or how they prepared it, it also offers a lens into cross-cultural interactions and the intersectionality of gender, race, class, and other axis of difference. Participants in this symposium explore the interactions between people across time and place to uncover the history in our food and discuss the ways they use the archaeology of foodways as a tool for public engagement and social justice.
