This episode of The EXARC Show features Finally Friday guests Maeve L’Estrange and Farrell Monaco for “History in Bite-Sized Chunks”. Our host Matilda Siebrecht moderates a discussion about the bitter challenges and tasty triumphs of the archaeology of food – specifically bread – in different archaeological contexts. Tune in for a discussion which touches on the variable nature of the archaeological and historical record, class divisions in food consumption, the practice and practicalities of doing experimental archaeology, as well as the sensorial benefits of this approach. As always, Finally Friday starts with a conversation between our guests and wraps up with questions from participants in the EXARC Discord. More information on joining us for future events can be found on The EXARC Show website.
