About This Book
This volume offers a comprehensive guide to methods used in the sociocultural, linguistic and historical research of food use. This volume is unique in offering food-related research methods from multiple academic disciplines, and includes methods that bridge disciplines to provide a thorough review of best practices. In each chapter, a case study from the author's own work is to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore the methods.

Introduction
Food
as
a
topic
of
study
has
deep
roots
and
a
long
history
in
anthropology;
some
suggest
it
is
probably
as
old
as
the
discipline
itself
(Mintz
and
Dubois
2002;
Murcott
1998;
Ulijaszek
and
Strickland
1993).
Food
represents
an
integral
part
of
human
culture,
livelihood,
and
biology,
so
the
study
of
food
has
relevance
for
all
subfields
of
anthropology—sociocultural
anthropology,
biological
anthropology,
archaeol-
ogy,
and
linguistics.
During
past
decades,
the
development
of
food-
and
nutrition-
focused
scholarship
in
anthropology
has
raised
fundamental
challenges
to
the
way
many
anthropologists
formulate
hypotheses,
collect
and
analyze
data,
and
develop
theories.
In
this
chapter,
I
present
an
overview
of
sociocultural
anthro-
pology
methods
as
a
way
to
introduce
more
specific
sections
on
what
methods
cultural
anthropologists
employ
to
understand
food
use
and
how
they
“work”
within
a
food
and
nutrition
framework.
