Archaeogastronomy: Grocery Lists as Seen from a Multidimensional Perspective

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Archaeogastronomy: Grocery Lists as Seen from a Multidimensional Perspective" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

From an archaeological perspective, studying food and food processing is a complex task that requires specialized tools and techniques. The development of new techniques, or new applications of well-established techniques, to apprehend the transformation of ingredients (plants, animals) into complex foods has permitted scholars to deepen their understanding of the ingredients used and also the manner in which foods were prepared in the past. In this session, entitled “Archaeogastronomy: Grocery Lists as Seen from a Multidimensional Perspective,” we wish to bring together scholars working in different parts of the world and on different periods to present their recent advances. We hope this session will stimulate future research and new collaborations.
