Biocultural and archaeological research on food, past and present, often relies on very specific, precise, methods for data collection and analysis. These are presented here in a broad-based review. Individual chapters provide opportunities to think through the adoption of methods by reviewing the history of their use along with a discussion of research conducted using those methods. A case study from the author's own work is included in each chapter to illustrate why the methods were adopted in that particular case along with abundant additional resources to further develop and explore those methods.

These three volumes provide a comprehensive examination of research design and methods for studies in food and nutritional anthropology. Our goal is to provide a resource that bridges the biocultural or biological focus that traditionally characterized nutritional anthropology and the broad range of studies widely labeled as the anthropology of food, and food studies. The dramatic increase in all things food in popular and academic fields over the last two decades, accompanied by vast changes in technology, has generated a diverse and dynamic set of new methods and approaches to understanding the relationships and interactions people have with food.

Nutritional Anthropology and public health research and programming have employed similar methodologies for decades; many anthropologists are public health practitioners while many public health practitioners have been trained as medical or biological anthropologists. Recognizing such professional connections, this volume provides in-depth analysis and comprehensive review of methods necessary to design, plan, implement and analyze public health programming using anthropological best practices. To illustrates the rationale for use of particular methods, each chapter elaborates a case study from the author's own work, showing why particular methods were adopted in each case.

Abstract: Nutritional states result from both biological and cultural forces. The consideration of nutritional problems from a biocultural perspective comprises the field of nutritional anthropology. Eleven papers are presented representing the efforts of researchers who have examined nutrition in this social context. Their theoretical approach combines the nutritional and social sciences in investigations of the sociocultural, cognitive and ecological aspects of food. The methodology of nutritional anthropology is applied in a study of women's roles in rural Africa. Human dietary adaptations in the evolution of human culture are investigated in a case study of 2 prehistoric populations. The food patterns of a contemporary group demonstrates nutritional adaptation and cultural maladaptation. Demographic effects of sex-specific diets and nutritional correlates of economic microdifferentiation are examined. Other topics deal with malnutrition, diet and acculturation, and health food movement.

Its multi-disciplinary nature adds to its complexity. This is the first publication to offer guidance for researchers working in this diverse and expanding field of anthropology.
