Description

In the Andes, maize beer was and continues to be both an everyday beverage and a substance essential for social and ritual exchanges. It fueled the empire of the Inkas, who brewed, served, and sacrificed maize beer in vast quantities. In this talk, archaeologist Dr. Hayashida will discuss the uses of maize beer in prehispanic times, and how observations of contemporary brewing help archaeologists identify and interpret brewing in the past. In-person lecture also offered on Zoom.
