ver since the definition of the Neolithic Revolution
by Vere Gordon Childe, prehistorians have been
aware of the crucial importance of food for the understanding of prehistoric developments. Numerous studies
have classified and described cooking ware, hearths
and ovens, have studied food residues and more recently
also stable isotopes in skeletal material. However,
we have not yet succeeded in integrating traditional,
functional perspectives on nutrition and semiotic
approaches (e.g. dietary practices as an identity marker)
with current research in the fields of Food Studies
and Material Culture Studies.
This conference focuses on practices of food production and consumption in its social dimensions from the
Mesolithic to the Early Iron Age in the Eastern Balkans
and their neighbouring regions. We understand the
Eastern Balkans as the region between Anatolia and the
Aegean Sea on one side and Central Europe and the
Eurasian steppe regions on the other side. The prehistoric inhabitants of the Eastern Balkans were repeatedly
confronted with foreign knowledge and practices of
food production and consumption which they integrated and thereby transformed into their life. On the
basis of a transdisciplinary perspective, we intend to
shed new light on the various social dimensions of
food in a synchronous as well as diachronic perspective.
