Dear everybody,
don't forget the chapter 'Culture, ecology, and pigs from the 5th to the 3rd millennium BC around the Fertile Crescent' by Caroline Grigson in the recently published 'Pigs and Humans' (Albarella et al., 2007). A very recommendable overview of the zooarchaeological data available. All details:

Onderwerp: [ZOOARCH] pork taboos
Hello Zooarch,
Does anyone know how far back the taboo on pork consumption goes in Judaism? The bible includes references to swineherds and I am interested in why you would keep pigs if you weren't planning to eat them.
Thanks
Fiona
