Description: The Archaeology of Beer: A Look From Ethiopia and Beyond
John Arthur, Ph.D., USF St. Petersburg
This talk looks at the evidence of beer in the archaeological record from China, Egypt, Nubia, Mesopotamia, and the Americas and whether beer may have been a factor in the domestication of grains. In addition to the archaeological evidence,the importance of beer among many indigenous societies for daily food but also as a ritual lubricant during feasts will be discussed. Ethnoarchaeological and archaeological research from southwestern Ethiopia documents analyze how we can decipher beer in the archaeological record.
