Thus, it serves as both an introduction to and explication of this emerging field. The offerings range from the third-millennium Early Dynastic period in Mesopotamia to the rise of a new cuisine in the Islamic period and transverse geographical locations such as southern Iraq, Syria, the Aegean, and especially the southern Levant. The strength of this collection lies in the many disciplines and methodologies that come together. Texts, pottery, faunal studies, iconography, and anthropological theory are all accorded a place at the table in locating the importance of feasting as a symbolic, social, and political practice. Various essays showcase both new archaeological methodologies?zooarchaeological bone analysis and spatial analysis?and classical methods such as iconographic studies, ceramic chronology, cultural anthropology, and composition-critical textual analysis. 606 $aJudentum$2gnd 606 $aReligio?ses Fest$2gnd 606 $aFest$2gnd 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01020340 606 $aFasts and feasts$xJudaism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00921759 606 $aRELIGION$xJudaism$xSacred Writings$2bisacsh 606 $aRELIGION$xBiblical Studies$xOld Testament$2bisacsh 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFasts and feasts$xJudaism$xHistory 607 $aAlter Orient$2gnd 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudentum 615 0$aReligio?ses Fest 615 0$aFest. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xJudaism. 615 0$aRELIGION$xJudaism$xSacred Writings. 615 0$aRELIGION$xBiblical Studies$xOld Testament. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFasts and feasts$xJudaism$xHistory. 676 $a221.8/39412 702 $aFu$b Janling 702 $aAltmann$b Peter 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460111403321 996 $aFeasting in the archaeology and texts of the Bible and the ancient Near East$92461151 997 $aUNINA
