Courses
This course explores the archaeology of food: what did people eat and drink and how do we know this? We will focus on archaeological evidence from earliest prehistory to the medieval period, mainly from northern Europe and occasionally the Mediterranean.
There are archaeological sites all around us: hillforts and stone circles, Roman towns, ancient fields and roads. During this course, we will venture out and look at the archaeological landscape.
