I'd love to see it! Many thanks. -- Julie Hruby Assistant Professor of Classics Dartmouth College HB 6086 Hanover, NH 03755 (603) 646-2910 From: Lisa French <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Reply-To: "Cooking technologies of ancient Mediterranean cultures." <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at 6:22 AM To: "[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>" <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> Subject: [ANCIENT-FOOD-TECH] (no subject) Fun but it is Ottoman/modern. Years ago when we were working in Turkey with all the archaeobotanists we started tracing when the South American foods arrived there - from Spain via North Africa. The earliest we found was 1581 (Busbeq's trip to Amasia). I also heard from Colin Leakey (who among other things advised Heinz about beans) that beans probably reached the west across Asia. I would love to hear what the latest data is on all this. I tried with Sibby Postgate to reconstruct the Bronze Age diet in a diagram based on an advert for olive oil margarine lauding the Mediterranean diet. We got it as accurate as we could in 2002. I can send it to anyone who would like it as a pdf attachmet..
