Dear Umberto, Could you possibly give some more details about this book. Maybe a list of papers. I've checked out amazon and bol.com and its clearly not available just yet. All the best Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Umberto Albarella [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 04 April 2002 13:57 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: feasting Dear Paul, If you are interested in Neolithic feasting (but no elderly castrates I'm afraid, just young pigs!), this has just been published: Albarella U. and Serjeantson D. 2002. A passion for pork: meat consumption at the British late Neolithic site of Durrington Walls. In P. Miracle and N.Milner (eds.). Consuming passions and patterns of consumption. Cambridge: McDonald Institute Monographs. There are other papers in that book that you could find of interest.
