Food and Drink in Archaeology

Archaeology has a long tradition of food and drink studies. Originally concerned with nutrition and later with economics, archaeologists now recognise that research into the production, distribution and consumption of foodstuffs has the potential to reveal much about the ideology and structure of past societies.

Food and drink are relevant to all areas of archaeology, regardless of geography, temporality or sub-discipline. Our conference series seeks, therefore, to unite researchers from different fields through a common interest in foodways. The proceedings of each conference are published in a peer-reviewed volume, published by Prospect Books.
