From remote antiquity to contemporary contexts, food and the
'stuff' of food remains central to people's daily experiences as
well as their sense and expression of identity. This volume
explores the materiality of foodstuffs past and present, examining
humanity's intriguingly complex relationships with, and experiences
of, food. The book also makes a fresh contribution to our
understanding of materiality through a novel focus on material
culture, analysing objects used to prepare, wrap, serve and consume
food and the tactile experiences involved in its production and
consumption. Considering a wide range of cultures, spanning from
ancient China to modern-day Kenya, this broad collection of
interdisciplinary chapters reveal the multiple interplays between
foods, bodies, material worlds, rituals and embodied knowledge that
emerge from these encounters and which, in turn, shape the material
culture of food. Exploring the Materiality of Food 'Stuffs' makes
an important contribution to this burgeoning field and will be of
interest to archaeologists and anthropologists working in the key
area of food research.
