Description
Summary:This paper seeks to insert zooarchaeological analyzes within the field of study of the Archaeology of food. To do this, I will focus on a theoretical approach to the multidimensional nature of food. The proposal consists of understanding eating and drinking from a holistic perspective, seeking to account for their daily, identity, situated, sensory, but above all, political character and as a practice of memory. This approach also seeks to inquire about the relationships between food and the ways of producing and obtaining food. I also propose to explore the animal conceptions that we usually use from zooarchaeological perspectives, with the aim of beginning to outline the bases for a Zooarchaeology of food, in which both the act of eating and our own interpretations of past humananimal relationships are situated.
