Dear all,
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. Julie Hruby of Dartmouth College has
initiated an email mailing list for this purpose. 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.
Thank you!
Deborah Ruscillo
