An innovative approach to the study of diet among the Minoans on
Crete, combining archaeological, demographic and skeletal evidence
with biochemical analysis of samples from excavations. In this
study, Riley takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the analysis of
cereals, olives and fish, the three main staple foods of the
ancient diet. The results of this analysis have obvious wider
implications for ancient health, nutrition and disease,
agricultural practices and demographics, which are also explored.
Riley concludes that the Minoan diet was similar to the traditonal
Mediterranean diet of the modern-day Aegean and the images of
young, vibrant and healthy people represented on Minoan wall
paintings, is supported in this study.
