Food and drink in European prehistory

Added to this information we have pollen analysis from settlement sites and charred plant macrofossils. Wetland archaeology informs us in much more detail not just which foods our prehistoric forbears were eating, but also their cooking techniques in some cases. This paper will explore whether or not a popular misconception about the daily diet in prehistory has its roots in the analysis of stomachs contents of various bog bodies found in Europe.

The main focus of the paper is the possible miss-interpretation of some Bronze Age Trevisker Ware ceramics as being made solely of Gabbroic clay. This paper suggests that local clays next to the Trevisker site in North Cornwall were mixed with crushed degraded gabbroic firestones.
