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.
