Dear colleagues,
It seems that culinary technologies have been emerging as a subfield within archaeology for some time now, and that it would be a good time for those who approach culinary technologies from different scholarly angles, whether ceramics, palaeoethnobotany, zooarchaeology, fuel studies, etc., to have a dedicated discussion space. I have initiated an email mailing list (there will probably also be a Facebook page shortly, but I’m not quite there yet).
To sign up, go to http://listserv.dartmouth.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=ANCIENT-FOOD-TECH and click on the “subscribe or unsubscribe” link in the bottom right corner; it should be self-evident from there. The list is conceived quite broadly, as “a forum for the discussion of the cooking technologies (including cooking vessels, fuels, etc.) of ancient Mediterranean and neighboring cultures,” with the hope that interesting collaborative approaches and pictures of broad culinary trends will emerge.
I hope you’re all having interesting and productive summers.
Best,
Julie
(with apologies for cross-posts)
