Investigating Soldiers' Foodways
Author(s): Alexandra L Simmons
Year: 2013
Summary
War provides fertile ground for research on comestibles, because food is often the reason for conflict and is essential to an army on the move. Archaeological excavations have been carried out at many redoubts and camps occupied during the Waikato Campaign of the New Zealand Wars, 1860s – 1870s. Most of the excavations have been limited by the constraints of development based briefs, which has resulted in a paucity of in depth research. In this paper the model used to investigate soldiers’ foodways in the Waikato will be presented, as well as some of the findings.
