Klappentext zu „The Archaeology and Politics of Food and Feasting in Early States and Empires “
This volume examines the commensal politics of early states and empires and offers a comparative perspective on how food and feasting have figured in the political calculus of archaic states in both the Old and New Worlds. It provides a cross-cultural and comparative analysis for scholars and graduate students concerned with the archaeology of complex societies, the anthropology of food and feasting, ancient statecraft, archaeological approaches to micro-political processes, and the social interpretation of prehistoric pottery.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Archaeology and Politics of Food and Feasting in Early States and Empires “
