Description
"The production and consumption of food can tell us much about how different cultures constructed and perceived their environment. The distinction between what is edible and what is inedible and the ecological systems in which people live are not just a passive backdrop to life but important keys into prevailing social and cultural systems. The Prehistory of Food discusses the changing uses of food in prehistory and sets subsistence firmly within its social context." "The Prehistory of Food is of interest to all students and academics in the fields of archaeology, anthropology and archaeobotany."--Jacket.
