The Andean region provides a unique locale to investigate the multiple dimensions of food and diet. Dietary choices are also influenced by social differentiation, life course stages, gender, class, identity, and even cultural constructs about what constitutes “food,” as can be seen in the diverse cultural traditions of the area. The study of feeding and eating can illuminate a myriad of material and social issues. This symposium explores the advances on food and diet’s material and social dimensions among prehistoric Andean groups.
