This book investigates food consumption in the ancient Near East.
Archaeological discoveries and abundant textual documentation help reconstruct food supply to the cities of Mesopotamia and provide a better idea of the variety of products available.
Some aspects of everyday life are presented in a new light, notably the social role of the banquet.
Illustrations: 40 figures, 5 maps (34 pages in colour).
