In the next day or two, I’ll be writing for all subscribers about some fantastic new papers that I’ve enjoyed reading in the last few weeks - they interlock with some of my historical interests for one reason or another.
Fascinating the information that can be gleaned from food waste. I think the pre 1492 history of the Americas is hugely diverse and interesting. It is a field difficult for a non specialist to tap into apart of course from Charles Mann's excellent book of 20 years ago. But it is another area where you can shift your field of view outside of the traditional Western/European blinkers.
Ooops. Link to the paper now included !
