'The individual chapters provide useful studies of the social and economic history of each period, as mediated by the evidence for oil and wine production, consumption, and exchange … The book as a whole is valuable reading for all interested in the transition from the Bronze Age to the early polis.' Evan Vance, Rhea Classical Reviews 'Recommended.' S. Brown, Choice Magazine 'Pratt ably demonstrates her expertise at assembling a truly interdisciplinary and contextualized approach to how, when and why, exactly, ancient Greek identity became so intertwined with oil and wine.' Ulrike Krotscheck, Food & History 'The book as a whole is valuable reading for all interested in the transition from the Bronze Age to the early polis - it is particularly refreshing to see a book that joins the Archaic period to the Bronze Age, rather than including it as a poorly-attested prequel to the Classical period. Those interested in food production and its cultural value will also find much to contemplate in Pratt's writing.' Evan Vance, Rhea Classical Review
