About the Author

The Nottingham Postgraduate Conference in Archaeology is a prestigious annual event that brings together emerging scholars and researchers to explore innovative topics in archaeological studies, with a particular emphasis on the cultural and historical dimensions of food and drink. Organized by postgraduate students at the University of Nottingham, the conference fosters interdisciplinary dialogue, featuring presentations, workshops, and discussions that highlight the role of sustenance in ancient societies—from feasting rituals in prehistoric communities to trade networks of spices and beverages in classical civilizations. Through its proceedings, published in a series of volumes, the conference contributes vital insights to the field, encouraging new methodologies and perspectives that enrich our understanding of human history through the lens of everyday consumption practices.
