The archaeologies of food and warfare have independently developed
over the past several decades. This volume aims to provide concrete
linkages between these research topics through the examination of
case studies worldwide. Topics considered within the book include:
the impacts of warfare on the daily food quest, warfare and
nutritional health, ritual foodways and violence, the provisioning
of warriors and armies, status-based changes in diet during times
of war, logistical constraints on military campaigns, and violent
competition over subsistence resources. The diversity of
perspectives included in this volume may be a product of new ways
of conceptualizing violence-not simply as an isolated component of
a society, nor as an attribute of a particular societal type-but
instead as a transformative process that is lived and irrevocably
alters social, economic, and political organization and
relationships. This book highlights this transformative process by
presenting a cross-cultural perspective on the connection between
war and food through the inclusion of case studies from several
continents.
