The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) in Cambridge holds a treasure trove of artifacts chronicling human history, including how our ancestors lived and what they ate. Although the museum itself does not focus exclusively on food history, it provides a rich context for understanding diets across different cultures and time periods. The collections include pottery, tools, and other objects that give insights into the agricultural practices, cooking methods, and dietary habits of past civilizations. By exploring these ancient items, visitors can piece together the food stories of societies ranging from local Cambridge history to global cultures.
