Oil, Wine, and the Cultural Economy of Ancient Greece
«'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»
In this book, Catherine E. Pratt explores how oil and wine became increasingly entangled in Greek culture, from the Late Bronze Age to the Archaic period. Using ceramic, architectural, and archaeobotanical data, she argues that Bronze Age exchange practices initiated a strong network of dependency between oil and wine production, and the people who produced, exchanged, and used them.
