Isto fez com que a alimentação em geral e a experiência culinária vivenciada na viagem fossem pensadas em consonância aos sentidos tanto de um quanto de outro. Procuramos, então, nos concentrar na presente dissertação nas questão de como a alimentação apareceu descrita e qual é o espaço e a importância de sua presença nas descrições de viagem de Auguste de Saint-Hilaire e Jean-Baptiste Debret / Abstract: The description of feeding in travel narratives occurred under the characteristic look of the traveler but also sets itself according to the own literary genre parameters. This made that the food and the gastronomic experience absorbed during the trip were considered thought in accordance with the senses in both directions. We then seek to focus on this thesis on questions such as how the food appeared described and what is the space and importance of its presence as seen in the travel descriptions of Auguste de Saint-Hilaire and Jean-Baptiste Debret / Mestrado / Mestre em História

This study investigated stable-isotope ratio evidence of weaning for the late Anglo-Saxon population of Raunds Furnells, Northamptonshire, UK. delta(15)N and delta(13)C values in rib collagen were obtained for individuals of different ages to assess the weaning age of infants within the population. A peak in delta(15) N values at about 2-year-old, followed by a decline in delta(15) N values until age three, indicates a change in diet at that age. This change in nitrogen isotope ratios corresponds with the mortality profile from the site, as well as with archaeological and documentary evidence on attitudes towards juveniles in the Anglo-Saxon period. The pattern of delta(13) C values was less clear. Comparison of the predicted age of weaning to published data from sites dating from the Iron Age to the 19th century in Britain reveals a pattern of changing weaning practices over time, with increasingly earlier commencement and shorter periods of complementary feeding in more recent periods. Such a change has implications for the interpretation of socioeconomic changes during this period of British history, since earlier weaning is associated with decreased birth spacing, and could thus have contributed to population growth.
