Holidays and Feasting in the Archaeological Record - Animals 17

What this episode covers

On this 'holiday special', Alex and Simona once again push their endurance to the limit by talking about food before dinner-time. Tune in to learn more about feasting in the archaeological record, and why it is not all that different from present day feasting. To demonstrate this, our hosts describe some of their favourite holiday feasts (in addition to some listeners' suggestions) and the reasoning behind them. Ps. Happy birthday APN 🙂 Links and Sources * Hastorf C.A. (2008) Food and feasting, social and political aspects. In: Pearsall D.M. (ed) Encyclopedia of Archaeology. London: Elsevier Inc. * Nelson S.M.
