This course explores the archaeological study of food and ancient human diet, subsistence, and foodways. Students will learn about the different theories and approaches that archaeologists use to study ancient meals, the domestication of plants and animals, and the development of different food procuring strategies, cooking methods, and cuisines. The class will discuss the social, cultural, political, economic, and ideological implications behind what we eat. Students will also learn about the methods used to investigate ancient foods and diets, including faunal and paleobotanical analyses, ceramic and lithic studies including chemical residue analysis and experimental studies, and bioarchaeological methods, such as stable isotope studies and the study of tooth wear patterns, just to name a few.
