This volume presents contemporary evidence scientific,
archaeological, botanical, textual, and historical for major
revisions in our understanding of winemaking in antiquity. Among
the subjects covered are the domestication of the Vinifera grape,
the wine trade, the iconography of ancient wine, and the analytical
and archaeological challenges posed by ancient wines. The essayists
argue that wine existed as long ago as 3500 BC, almost half a
millennium earlier than experts believed. Discover named these
findings among the most important in 1991. Featuring the work of 23
internationally known scholars and writers, the book offers the
first wide ranging treatment of wine in the early history of
western Asia and the Mediterranean. Comprehensive and accessible
while providing full documentation, it is sure to serve as a
catalyst for future research.
