Speaking of ancient costume history, are any of you expert in the field of Mesopotamian costume? I'm wondering what else might have been dug up in that area since I studied costume history. Anyone know any good books on the subject?

Not so much costume as cooking... but the Assyrian cunieform tablets at Cambridge were translated (err, that's Cambridge in Massachussetts). The tablets were recipes. Here's the pop archaeology book on the project. http://www.superchefblog.com/2005/07/oldest-cuisine-in-world-jean-bottero.html There's also a much more scholarly one (in French by the same author) that I used for a Stanford paper years ago. --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
