The archaeological site that I'm focusing on is the remains of Himera, 
Greece in modern Sicily, 
and the focus of the research proposal is bone collagen isotope 
analysis to determine dietary 
patterns in the civilian and military populations that have skeletal 
assemblages there. Essentially 
I'm hoping that you might be able to put me in touch with someone that 
could point me in the 
direction of any classical literature that provides an account or 
mention of life in Himera (if such 
a piece exists at all). More generally though I'm also interested in 
finding some first person 
accounts of what the Greeks were or were not eating circa 450 BCE. I'm 
particularly interested in 
investigating possible differences in diet between the sexes, age 
groups or classes, so any type 
of account of what a prescribed healthy diet for a man or soldier vs. a 
woman or child that might be 
found in classic Greek literature would also be helpful. Talking to 
someone who could give me a 
general idea of where I might even start to look for this type of 
writing would be extremely helpful.
