Reviews

This is an excellent volume integrating archaeological, historical, bioarchaeological, and isotopic resources into a synthetic interpretation of the Greek diet.... If you are interested in dietary reconstruction in Greece or the Eastern Mediterranean, this book will be an essential resource Nicholas P. Herrmann, American Journal of Physical Anthropology 160 (2016), pp. 740-741. While a specialized topic within archaeology, this volume should be required reading for anyone who is interested in the archaeology of food or subsistence, Greek archaeology (both prehistoric and historic), and archaeological science Elizabeth R. Arnold, JEMAHS 5.3-4 (2017).

.. .the first compilation of its kind for Greece, and it will be of interest primarily to bioarchaeologists who specialize in stable isotope ratio analysis, while human bone specialists and archaeologists in general will also find it interesting and useful. --Argyro Nafplioti American Journal Of Archaeology
