Synopsis

Comprises 17 articles based on presentations at a symposium held at the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters in September 2014, supplemented with an appendix on the extensive collections of the National Museum of Denmark as a basis for interdisciplinary research.

The topic of this book is of immediate importance: availability and abundance of food are crucial for the health and subsequently for the wealth of every society – and have always been so. The 17 papers present case stories from a wide range of historical periods, geographical regions, and types of societies. The potentialities of new technologies are discussed, as well as principles followed and methods employed.
