CARRERAS, Jesica. EATING FOOD, EATING ANIMALS. THEORETICAL CONCEPTUALIZATIONS TOWARDS A ZOOARCHAEOLOGY OF FOOD. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.24-39. ISSN 1853-1296.

This paper seeks to insert zooarchaeological analyzes within the field of study of the Archaeology of food. To do this, I will focus on a theoretical approach to the multidimensional nature of food. The proposal consists of understanding eating and drinking from a holistic perspective, seeking to account for their daily, identity, situated, sensory, but above all, political character and as a practice of memory. This approach also seeks to inquire about the relationships between food and the ways of producing and obtaining food. I also propose to explore the animal conceptions that we usually use from zooarchaeological perspectives, with the aim of beginning to outline the bases for a Zooarchaeology of food, in which both the act of eating and our own interpretations of past human-animal relationships are situated.

Palabras clave : Archaeology of food; Humans-Animals relations; Zooarchaeology; Archaeological theory; Puna of Jujuy.
